Rosane Brandão Malta (formerly Rosane Collor de Mello; born October 21, 1964) was the First Lady of Brazil during the presidency of her husband, Fernando Collor de Mello, from 1990 until 1992. She was Collor's second wife and part of the politically powerful Malta and Brandao families of Alagoas.[1]

As first lady, she was given the honorary position of president of the Legião Brasileira de Assistência (LBA), a welfare organization, a position she resigned in 1991.[2] LBA was extinguished by Fernando Collor's orders in 1991.[citation needed] In September 1992 she was indicted for embezzling funds from the LBA and directing them to friends and family.[2] Visible rifts occurred between Rosane and Collor during his presidency, with the President often appearing in public without his wedding ring.[1][2] In April 2000, she was found guilty on charges of abuse of power and misuse of funds and sentenced to 11 years in prison,[3] although this sentence was annulled on June 26 of that year.[4][5]

In 2018, she ran unsuccessfully for State Deputy of Alagoas by the Humanist Party of Solidarity (PHS).[6][7]
