Raasin McIntosh (born 29 April 1982 in Texas) is a Liberian hurdler. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, she competed in the Women's 400 metres hurdles.

She grew up in Houston and went on to attended the University of Texas on an athlete scholarship. She trained under a prominent track coach, Bev Kearney, and went on to represent the United States at the 2003 World Championships in Athletics. She was the winner of the 400 m hurdles at the 2003 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and was in the top three of both the 400 m and 100-meter hurdles at the NCAA Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championship that year.

While at the University of Texas she had a relationship with her coach Kearney, in violation of NCAA rules. She later went on to report this to the university administration while working there around 2013, as Kearney had resigned amid revelations of further relationships with students.
