Liz Wahl (born May 27, 1985) is an American journalist. She was a correspondent for the Russian government-sponsored RT television network from 2011 to 2014 but left the network following a harshly critical on-air resignation that went viral.

Wahl was born at the U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay in the Philippines to a Filipina mother and a Hungarian American father. She was raised in Connecticut. She graduated from Fairfield University. Her paternal grandparents were refugees from Hungary, who fled the on-coming Soviet invasion during the Hungarian Uprising. Wahl cited her grandparents’ experience as a factor in her public denunciation of RT and the network’s coverage of the Russo-Ukrainian War.
