Rayna Petkova (Bulgarian: Райна Петкова, 10 September 1895 – 1957) was one of the first trained social workers in Bulgaria. Initially wanting to become a teacher, she was influenced by the women's movement and became interested in social policy. Trained in Germany, Petkova returned to Bulgaria in the early 1930s and helped establish institutions to provide for the social welfare. Publishing widely, her work was influential in defining the role of the state in protecting its citizens and her methods for collecting and analyzing data, particularly on youth, homelessness and crime were not only innovative for the time, but for many years served as the standard for researchers who followed. After World War II, she was ostracized and kept under police surveillance until her death.
