Rachael Anne Lynch (born 2 July 1986)[1] is a field hockey player from Australia.

[4] Prior to the disbandment of the Australian Hockey League (AHL), Lynch was a member of the Victorian Vipers.

[5][6] After the introduction of the Hockey One League in 2019, Lynch was named a member of the HC Melbourne team in the inaugural tournament.

[12][13] In December 2020, the Hockeyroos selection panel dropped Lynch from the national squad for 2021, essentially ending her career twelve months after she won the FIH Goalkeeper of the Year award.

The removing of Lynch and former captain Georgina Morgan prompted an emergency meeting of the Hockeyroos, with the team considering a players' strike.
