Manuel Rosas Sánchez (29 February 1912 – 20 February 1989), nicknamed Chaquetas, was a Mexican footballer who participated in the inaugural 1930 FIFA World Cup.

Scoring against Argentina from what was the first ever penalty in the competition, 18-year-old Rosas became the youngest goalscorer in the FIFA World Cup at the time, and today remains the second youngest, after Pelé. In the same match Rosas scored his only other goal for the national team, thereby becoming the first Mexican to score twice in the tournament. Three days earlier, Rosas had scored the first ever own goal in the competition, during a match against Chile.

His brother, Felipe Rosas, also played in the 1930 World Cup. Both were players of Atlante F.C. during the tournament.
