A rope maker, rope twister, ropemaker or rope turner is a craftsman who processes yarns, usually hemp in the past, into rope. The profession has been virtually extinct since the end of the 19th century.

The rope maker did his work in the open air, covered or in a tent-like structure, on a rope yard or rope walk: a narrow strip of land, sometimes 300 metres long, above which many yarns supplied by a spinner were sheared (unrolled). The rope ended up in a 'pit', a still existing length measure for rope.

Rope was often used for the rigging of sailing ships. Rope yards were therefore common in port cities. Many cities have streets whose names recall this former function
