Grażyna Rabsztyn (Polish pronunciation: [ɡraˈʐɨna ˈrapʂtɨn]; born September 20, 1952 in Wrocław) is a Polish hurdler. She set three world records in 100 metres hurdles. On June 10, 1978 she became the first runner under 12.5 seconds with a new record of 12.48 seconds. She had the same time a year later, on June 18, 1979, and finally, on June 13, 1980 she had her best time ever, 12.36 seconds. Her world record has been repeated and later beaten by Yordanka Donkova. Rabsztyn's world record gives her the fifth place in the all-time top ten 100 meters hurdlers.
Rabsztyn never won a medal at any major international outdoor athletic competition, but did win several medals at indoor competitions.
