Rahel Frey (born 23 February 1986 in Niederbipp, Canton of Bern) is a Swiss professional racing driver who has participated in competitions including the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, International Formula Master, and the German Formula Three Championship.
In the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans, Frey raced in the LMGT1 division, piloting the #61 Matech Competition Ford GT alongside fellow Swiss racers Natacha Gachnang and Cyndie Allemann. Unfortunately, all three Ford entries retired before race completion. Subsequently, she joined Audi's DTM team, taking over from Katherine Legge for the 2011 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters season. Frey exited the DTM series at the outset of the 2013 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters season.
In 2019, she became part of the female-only Kessell squad with teammates Manuela Gostner and Michelle Gatting competing in the European Le Mans Series. Their team marked a milestone as the first all-female lineup to finish an event since 1977, securing 39th place overall and ninth within their category.
