Rebecca Rios (born June 4, 1967 in Tucson) is an American Democratic politician. She is a member of the Arizona House of Representatives representing the 27th district. She previously served as Arizona State Senator for District 23 from 2004 to 2010, and served as Minority Whip. Earlier she was a member of the Arizona House of Representatives from 1994 through 2000. Rios was a "participating candidate" in Arizona's public campaign program known as Clean Elections.

Rios is from a family of Hispanic politicians. Her father is Senator Peter Rios and she became interested in politics at a very young age. Among the topics that concern her are education and health care. She was an influential sponsor of classroom construction funding, as well as Arizona Proposition 301, which consists of an education tax and continuous medical plan coverage for working-class families.

Rios was defeated by Steve Smith in 2010.
