Rati Agnihotri (born 10 December 1960) is an Indian actress whose films are mainly in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.

Agnihotri was born in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, in "a conservative Punjabi family." She began modelling at age ten.

Bharathiraja directed her in the film, Niram Maaratha Pookkal (1979). Even though she was Punjabi, South Indian audiences embraced her as one of their own. She reciprocated by calling herself "Tamilian at heart" and calling Madras her home. She also starred in Telugu and Kannada films and made 32 films in just three years.

She worked with big banners and top stars in South Indian cinema. She had worked with director K. Balachander once before and had been Kamal Haasan's leading lady in many South Indian films, so she wasn't surprised when they approached her for the Hindi remake of their Telugu film Maro Charitra (1979). Now re-titled Ek Duuje Ke Liye (1981), the film was about passionate lovers who are torn apart by their parents in the storytelling tradition of Romeo and Juliet. It became one of the top grossing hits of 1981 and marked the debut into Hindi films of five stars of the South Indian film industry: director K. Balachander, hero Kamal Haasan, heroine Rati Agnihotri, singer S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and supporting actress Madhavi. She then starred in over 43 Hindi films. Her biggest hits were Farz Aur Kanoon (1982), Coolie (1983) opposite megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Tawaif (1985) for which she received her second Filmfare nomination as Best Actress, Aap Ke Saath (1986) And Hukumat (1987) opposite the Bollywood icon Dharmendra.
