Rachel Clare Hurd-Wood (born 17 August 1990) is an English actress. Her break-out role was as Wendy Darling in the 2003 movie Peter Pan.
Hurd-Wood was born in London, England, the daughter of Philip and Sarah Hurd-Wood. She has a younger brother, Patrick who appeared with her in Peter Pan as one of the sleeping children in the "I Do Believe In Fairies" scene. He also plays the role of Samuel Crowthorn alongside his sister in her later film, Solomon Kane in which she plays Meredith Crowthorn. She currently resides in a Victorian cottage at the edge of a forest in Godalming, Surrey, along with her parents and brother. Her father's work involves performing, writing scripts and doing voice-overs for commercials. She joined a drama club in her school and took part in its stage production during her second year.
In a 2010 live Myspace web chat for the film Tomorrow, When the War Began, Hurd-Wood dispelled the false rumour that her uncle is British actor and comedian Hugh Laurie.
Hurd-Wood had considered becoming a marine biologist, until she became interested in working with children who have special needs or disabilities. She studied Linguistics at University College London, having completed her first year in 2009.
