Rachel Aliene Corrie (April 10, 1979 – March 16, 2003) was an American activist and diarist. She was a member of the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement (ISM) and was active throughout the Palestinian territories. In 2003, Corrie was in Rafah, a city in the Gaza Strip, where the Israeli military was demolishing Palestinian houses at the height of the Second Intifada. In an attempt to stop the demolitions as they were being carried out, she stood in front of an armored bulldozer and was subsequently crushed to death by it under contested circumstances.

She had gone to Gaza as part of her college's senior-year independent-study proposal to connect Olympia and Rafah with each other as sister cities. While there, she had joined other ISM activists in efforts to prevent Israel's demolition of Palestinian property. Israeli authorities stated that the demolitions were being carried out in order to eliminate weapons-smuggling tunnels for Palestinian militants, but this claim was contested by a number of international human rights organizations, which argued that Israel was responding to terrorist attacks by subjecting the Palestinian people to collective punishment.

The exact nature of Corrie's death and the culpability of the bulldozer operator are disputed—fellow ISM activists claimed that Corrie was deliberately driven over, while the IDF claimed that it was an accident because the bulldozer operator did not see her. Following the incident, the Israeli military opened an investigation into the driver and concluded that Corrie's death was the result of an accident due to the fact that the driver was unable to see Corrie standing in front of the bulldozer, given the cab's limited visibility. Israel's ruling attracted criticism from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, B'Tselem, and Yesh Din.

In 2005, Corrie's parents filed a civil lawsuit, charging the Israeli state with not conducting a full and credible investigation into the case and therefore holding responsibility for her death. They contended that she had either been intentionally killed or that the Israeli soldiers on scene had acted with reckless neglect. They sued for a symbolic US$1 in damages. However, an Israeli court rejected their suit in August 2012 and upheld the results of the military's investigation, ruling that the Israeli government was not responsible for Corrie's death, again attracting criticism from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and various activists. An appeal against this ruling was heard on May 21, 2014, but was ultimately rejected by the Supreme Court of Israel on February 14, 2015.
