'''Rafah''' ({{lang-ar|رفح}} {{transliteration|ar|Rafaḥ}} {{IPA-ar|rafaħ|}}) adalah sebuah kota di sebelah selatan [[Jalur Gaza]], [[Palestina]]. Rafah adalah ibu kota [[Kegubernuran Rafah]], berjarak {{convert|30|km|mi|sp=us}} di sebelah barat daya [[Kota Gaza]]. Pada tahun 2017, kota ini berpenduduk 171.889.<ref name="PrelimCensus2017" /> Akibat pengeboman dan serangan darat besar-besaran di Kota Gaza dan [[Khan Yunis]] oleh [[Israel]] semasa [[Perang Israel-Hamas 2023]], sekitar 1,4 juta pengungsi diperkirakan berlindung di Rafah pada bulan Februari 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gaza: Israel’s military operation in Rafah would be fatal for displaced civilians and humanitarian aid |url=https://www.nrc.no/news/2024/february/gaza-israels-military-operation-in-rafah-would-be-fatal-for-displaced-civilians-and-humanitarian-aid/ |date=8 February 2024|access-date=8 February 2024 |work=Norwegian Refugee Council}}</ref>

Selepas [[Perang Palestina 1948]], [[Mesir]] memerintah Rafah dan mendirikan [[kamp pengungsi]] bagi korban perang Palestina. Semasa [[Krisis Suez]], [[Pasukan Pertahanan Israel]] membantai 111 warga Palestina, termasuk 103 pengungsi di kamp pengungsian Rafah. Saat [[Perang Enam Hari]], tentara Israel menduduki [[Semenanjung Sinai]] dan [[Jalur Gaza]] setelah merebutnya dari Mesir. Pada tahun yang sama, tentara IDF melibas dan menghancurkan 144 rumah di kamp pengungsian Rafah, yang menewaskan 23 warga Palestina.<ref name="HC">[[Henry Cattan|Cattan, Henry]] (1969) ''Palestine, The Arabs & Israel.

Di Rafah terletak [[Pelintasan Perbatasan Rafah]], satu-satunya titik persimpangan antara Mesir dan Jalur Gaza. Satu-satunya bandara di Gaza, [[Bandar Udara Internasional Yasser Arafat]], terletak di sebelah selatan Rafah. Bandara ini mulai beroperasi pada tahun 1998 dan tutup pada tahun 2001 setelah dibom oleh militer Israel (IDF).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2005-05-19 |title=Grounded in Gaza, but hoping to fly again |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna7900217 |access-date=2024-03-22 |website=NBC News |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Wayback Machine |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222201351/http://legacy.icao.int/icao/en/nr/2002/pio200203_e.pdf |access-date=2024-03-22 |website=web.archive.org}}</ref>
