Roma Baran (born 1946 or 1947) is a Canadian-American record producer, best known for her work with Laurie Anderson, Rosalie Sorrels, Annabelle Chvostek and Kate & Anna McGarrigle.[1] Much of her production work is done as a duo with partner Vivian Stoll.

A native of Montreal, Baran has lived in New York City since 1976.[2] She was raised in the Polish Catholic Church, learning only in her 60s that her parents were in fact Jews who had nominally converted to Catholicism and changed their names to protect themselves during the Holocaust.[2]

Baran was also an Academy Award nominee in 1992 for co-producing the documentary film Music for the Movies: Bernard Herrmann.
