Rosario Ustáriz Borra (born in Hecho, 1927 – died in Jaca, August 28, 2009) was a talented writer and poet from Spain. She was special because she wrote all her poems in Aragonese, a language spoken in the Aragon region of Spain. Rosario grew up speaking a specific type of Aragonese called the Cheso dialect, which is only found in her home valley.
She is highly respected by people who study and support the Aragonese language. This is because she was one of the few native speakers who helped share and protect this special language. Some of her works have been published, making her an important figure in Aragonese literature.

She was so good that she won two more Onsos d'Oro in the following years, in 1983 and 1984. In her poems, Rosario often wrote about her own life experiences. She also loved to describe the beautiful landscapes, the people, and the old traditions of her home, the Valle de Hecho.

Her dedication to the Aragonese language was recognized in November 2007. She became an honorary member of the Academia de l'Aragonés, an important group that works to preserve and promote the Aragonese language. Rosario Ustáriz Borra passed away on August 28, 2009, in Jaca, when she was 82 years old.
