Rathbone is a charitable organization in the United Kingdom. It educates and trains children, young people and adults in its own training centres and residential projects.

Rathbone was created out of The Rathbone Society, founded by Elfrida Rathbone. In 1995 it joined forces with Community Industry, a similar charity, to become Rathbone C.I.

It describes its work as being with "anyone whose needs have not been met by education, or who needs support to overcome their barriers to learning, training or employment". It provides education and training to more than 10,000 people every year.

As of 2007 the chair is Sir Michael Bichard, and the chief executive Richard Williams.
