Tiina-Rakel Liekki (born September 20, 1979) is a Finnish artist, freelance editor and former pornographic actress, writer, director and producer. She got a Bachelor of arts degree from North Karelia Polytechnic, programme of fine art with painting as her major area of study in Christmas 2001.

In 2002, she performed in Rakelin ja Lassin Panokoulu sex guidance videos together with Lassi Lindqvist as part of PornoStara tvshow on MoonTV television channel. Before that she tested sex toys in the same show. She also worked for Finnish television channel ATV on their Naked News and other adult oriented night shows. After that she worked as a producer for a Finnish digital television channel Sextv. She also directed the porn film Rakel Liekki – Mun leffa which has probably sold more in Finland that any other Finnish porn film. She retired from porn in 2005 and started hosting her own talkshow Yö Rakelin kanssa (Night With Rachel). The talk show is aired on Subtv television channel. She also writes articles for several magazines.

In Finland, Liekki is considered a role model for playful sex and has played a large role in demonstrating that porn does not have to be "dirty" or "evil." She has thus been referred to as "the apostle of porn" and other such titles. Some of her live shows contained fire eating and breathing and candles. In 2001, she was featured in the music video for the song Hardboiled And Still Hellbound by Finnish black metal band Impaled Nazarene and in 2007 she was featured in the music video Broken Promised Land by Finnish rock band Private Line. "Liekki" is the Finnish word for flame.
