Raina Fehl (August 23, 1920 – May 3, 2009) was an Austrian-born American classicist, writer and editor. Upon immigrating to the United States, she served in the U.S. Army Service before continuing her education and work in the field of english. She died May 3, 2009, in Appleton, Wisconsin, and was buried near family at The Eternal Home Cemetery, Block 1540, Row A, Space 6, in Colma California.

Fehl's friends and family recognized her delightful smile, beauty, and knowledge as extraordinary and memorable. Jennifer Montagu, chair, Gombrich Archive, Warburg Institute noted, "the way she sacrificed so much of her own time and talent to further [her husband's] work, both while he was alive, and after his death; she was an absolute model of devotion. But of course her greatest quality was her own personality, her probity and honesty, and her capacity for loyal friendship." Her joy in learning is epitomized in the story told by her colleague, Paul Olson, who fondly remembers her driving him to work with a Greek dictionary on the steering wheel. Paul Olson, Professor Emeritus Department of English, University of Nebraska. She and her work are discussed in the comic-philosophical novel Harmony Junction by Goddard Graves (2009, privately published).
