Teresa Rebull, née Teresa Soler i Pi (1919–2015), was a Catalan socialist activist, singer-songwriter and painter. The daughter of anarcho-syndicalists Gonçal Soler i Bernabeu [ca] and Balbina Pi i Sanllehy, she joined the POUM and worked as a nurse during the Spanish Civil War. She was actively involved in the May Days events and punished for that. She later escaped Spain, where she could face danger from both Stalinists and Francoists, for France. In France, she would join the Maquis after the Nazi invasion. After the war, she became a singer and was musically associated to Nova Cançó.
