Rachel Grepp, née Helland (5 March 1879 – 24 May 1961) was a Norwegian journalist and politician for the Norwegian Labour Party.

She was among the founders of Bergens Socialdemokratiske Ungdomslag in 1902. From 1923 to 1945 she was a journalist in Arbeiderbladet, a member of Oslo city council as well as international secretary and member of the women's secretariat in the Labour Party.[1] These positions were de facto suspended from 1940 due to the German occupation of Norway.

She was the Labour Party's eighth ballot candidate in the 1924 parliamentary election[2] and the eighth ballot candidate in the 1927 election. This time she was elected as fourth deputy.[3]

She was married to Kyrre Grepp (1879–1922).[1] Their daughter Gerda Grepp (1907–1940) was a Spanish Civil War correspondent,[4] their son Ole Grepp (1914–1976) was an actor,[5] and their son Asle Grepp (1919–1945) was executed as a Norwegian World War II resistance member.[6][7]
