Rachel Aliene Corrie, född 10 april 1979 i Olympia, Washington, död 16 mars 2003 i Rafah, Gazaremsan, var en amerikansk fredsaktivist från International Solidarity Movement (ISM). Hon krossades till döds på Gazaremsan av en schaktmaskin tillhörande Israels försvarsmakt (IDF). Vid sin död agerade Corrie mänsklig sköld framför ett palestinskt hem som IDF bestämt skulle demoleras.
IDF har hävdat att dödsfallet berodde på att schaktmaskinföraren hade begränsad sikt. Ögonvittnen från ISM uppgav att det inte fanns något som kunde skymma förarens sikt.
