Tonka Obretenova, known as baba Tonka, was a female Bulgarian revolutionary, born in 1812, probably in Rousse.

She married Tiho Obretenov — a famous tailor and tradesman in Rousse. Obretenova lended major support to the revolutionary committee. The Rousse Revolutionary Committee, the most important one in the interior of Bulgaria, was established by her son Nikola Obretenov, in her house. Baba Tonka buried Stefan Karadzha, and managed to preserve his skull.

Her sons Angel, Petar, Nikola, and Georgi took part in different detachments and were killed, or sent into long exile. Her younger daughter, Anastasiya married Zahari Stoyanov — a revolutionary, writer and publicist.
