Lebotsang Orphan "Ronnie" Bosielo (19 August 1957 – 15 May 2018) was a South African judge of the Supreme Court of Appeal. Formerly a judge of the High Court of South Africa, he served in the appellate court from October 2009 until his death in May 2018. He was an acting judge in the Constitutional Court in 2012 and 2016, and he was thrice nominated unsuccessfully for permanent appointment to the apex court.
