The Rosenvinge family (lit. 'Rose Wing') is a Danish and Norwegian noble family.
Origin
= Rosenvinge in Denmark
=The family's progenitor, Mogens Jensen (d. 1528), who was the secretary of Prince Christian (1481–1559), later overlord in Bergenhus and Mayor of Helsingør, was ennobled on 31 May 1505. He married Anna Pedersdatter, who was the daughter of Peder Hansen, Mayor of Helsingør, who himself had been ennobled in 1476 by King Christian I of Denmark.
Mogens Jensen was the father of Henrik Mogensen Rosenvinge (d. 1553). His patrilineal grandson Mogens Henriksen Rosenvinge (1540–1607) was Mayor of Odense. Mogens Henriksen's sons Jørgen Mogensen Rosenvinge (1570–1634), Mayor of Odense, and Jens Mogensen Rosenvinge, City Manager of Odense, became the progenitors of, respectively, the Norwegian branch and the Danish branch of the family. From the family descends also the Kolderup-Rosenvinge noble family.
