Rosa Coote is a fictional dominatrix appearing as a character in a number of works of Victorian erotica, including The Convent School, or Early Experiences of A Young Flagellant by William Dugdale and "Miss Coote's Confession" in The Pearl.
Like her counterpart Mrs Lechworthy, the character is probably based on the real-life Theresa Berkley who ran a brothel in Soho in the 1830s.
The character reappears in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill.
