Cecilia Elena Rouse (born December 18, 1963) is an American economist. She was the 30th Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers from 2021 to 2023 under the Joe Biden administration. In 2012, she became dean of the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.

She was a member of President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers from 2009 to 2011.

In November 2020, President-elect Joe Biden announced his plans to nominate Rouse as the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers.[2] The Senate confirmed her nomination by a vote of 95–4 on March 2.[3]

In November 2022, it was announced that Rouse would be leaving her position as Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers following the 2022 midterms.[4] In February 2023, Jared Bernstein was nominated as her successor by President Biden.[5][6]
