Rosa Catharina (Ro) Mogendorff (1907 - 1969) was a Dutch painter and draftsman.
Jo's family lived next door to the painter Willem Witsen, who made sure that Mogendorff received permission from her parents to follow a course at the Day-drawing School for Girls. She was taught there by Jan Uri.

During the Second World War, Mogendorff went into hiding. In view of her poor health, she decided to focus only on drawing and after the war she joined the Dutch Circle of Draftsmen and Arti et Amicitiae. She exhibited several times. In 1957 she was the first to receive the Prix de la Critique from the Association Internationale des Critiques d'Art. In 1967 she was made a Knight of the Order of Oranje-Nassau.
