Rachel Louise Corsie (born 17 August 1989) is a Scottish football defender who plays for Seattle Reign FC in the National Women's Soccer League and the Scotland national team. She previously played for Glasgow City in the Scottish Women's Premier League and English FA WSL club Notts County. Corsie made her senior national team debut against France in March 2009 and has since amassed over eighty appearances for the national team.

In July 2008 Corsie joined Glasgow City from Aberdeen Ladies at age 18. In her first season with City she contributed 10 goals as the club won a domestic treble. She also featured in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

In May 2012, Corsie made her 100th league appearance for Glasgow City. Of the milestone, Glasgow City head coach Eddie Wolecki Black said, "I think it shows remarkable consistently she has managed to rack up 100 starts for the club in such a short period of time. People tend to forget that Rachel is still only 22 years of age and is continuing to develop as a player."

Corsie left Glasgow City for Notts County in January 2014, to fulfil her ambition of playing in England. She was attracted to playing at Meadow Lane and training full-time. In January 2015 it was announced by Notts County Ladies that Corsie had chosen not to continue with the club for their forthcoming season. After a successful year at Notts where she was captain throughout the season, she had also been awarded Supporters Player Of The Season and joint Managers Player Of The Season. Many fans rated Corsie as the best Centre Back of the 2014 season.
