Rina Katselli (1938 – 28 May 2021) was a writer and politician from Cyprus. She is considered one of the most important contemporary Cypriot playwrights and prose writers.[1][2] In 1981, she became the first Greek Cypriot woman to serve in Cyprus' House of Representatives.

Katselli's work frequently drew on her experience of displacement from her home region of Kyrenia after the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, including in her widely translated 1978 novel Galazia falaina.
