Eino Rahja (1885 - 1936) was a Finnish-Russian Communist politician and member of the Bolshevik Party. Rahja organized Lenins temporary escape to Finland in the summer of 1917. During the Civil War, Rahja was one of the most capable military leaders of Finnish Reds. After the reds lost the war he fled to Soviet Russia where he lived for the rest of his life.

Eino Rahja was expelled from the Bolshevik Party in 1928, accused for being a "Trotskyist". He was later killed during the Great Purge.

Eino was brother with Jukka Rahja.
