Christian Dorosario (born 25 September 1953), also known as Christian Rosario, is a Senegalese sprinter. He competed in the 4 × 100 metres at the 1972 Summer Olympics, and both the 4 × 100 metres and 200 metres at the 1976 Summer Olympics.[1]

Do Rosario was a student at Malone University in Canton, Ohio. Do Rosario's presence at the 1976 Games was threatened by the African boycott, but Senegal ended up being one of two African nations to attend the Games, allowing Do Rosario to compete in his second Olympics.[2]

As a member of the Malone Pioneers track and field team, Do Rosario set several school records in the 4 × 440 yards relay, including once with a time of 3:19.6 at the 1975 Pitt Invitational track meet.[3]

After retirement from the sport, Do Rosario was also a United Nations Development Program official, advocating for reform in Africa.[4][5][6]
