Rahealty, or Rahelty, is an electoral division in County Tipperary in Ireland.
It was originally created as an electoral division in the Thurles poor law union in North Tipperary. Although the poor law unions have long been abolished, this electoral division, although with boundaries that have been modified over the years, is still used for various administrative purposes.
