Rachel Lee (born March 18, 1988 in Chicago) is an American violinist.

Regarded as one of the most promising upcoming talents on the international stage, Rachel has performed with major orchestras worldwide, including the Chicago, Seattle, Saint Louis, and National Symphonies, the Staatskapelle Berlin, the Seoul Philharmonic, and the KBS Symphony. At nine years of age she performed at the United Nations' 50th Anniversary celebration of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Rachel has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, the New Yorker, and on national television at the 2000 Grammy awards. Despite her early eminence, she has been described as "a violinist of utmost stature," and her playing has been characterized as "mature beyond her years."

She has studied at the Juilliard School since age 8 and currently attends Harvard University, commuting to New York for lessons with Itzhak Perlman and Robert Mann.
