Rachel Walker Revere (1745 – June 26, 1813) was a witness to the American Revolution, and the wife and close confidant of Paul Revere (1734–1818). During the American Revolution, she supported Paul Revere by caring for their family, supplying Revere with food and equipment, and getting their family safely out of the city at the start of the Siege of Boston.

Revere is an important historical example of a wife of a patriot soldier whose life is relatively well documented, and is used by historians to discuss the role of women in the Revolutionary War effort. In 1991, she was honored by a stop on the Boston Women's Heritage Trail.
