Benedita Barata da Rocha (Lisbon, 24 February 1949), is a Portuguese immunologist.[1]

She earned her M.D. 1972 from the University of Lisbon, and her Ph.D. 1978 from the University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK.[1] She is "directeur de recherche classe exceptionel" (DRCE) of the CNRS and director of a research unit of the INSERM at the Necker Institute, Paris, France. Her major scientific contributions are in the areas of T cell immune tolerance, T cell memory and development of intraepithelial lymphocytes.[2]

In 2007 she received the CNRS Silver Medal award [3] and in 2009 a European Research Council advanced grant. She has published more than 100 research articles.[4]
