Kathleen Jessie Raine (Ilford, 14 giugno 1908 – Londra, 6 luglio 2003) è stata una poetessa britannica.

## Biografia

Sua madre era scozzese e suo padre era nato a Wingate, nella contea di Durham. Ha frequentato la County High School di Ilford e successivamente ha studiato scienze naturali e psicologia al Girton College di Cambridge. Lì ricevette un master nel 1929.
