This paper deals with rectifying curves and their characterization in arbitrary dimensional Lorentz

n-space. Considering the structure of a rectifying curve, we give some generalizations of such

curves in Lorentz n-space. Moreover, we characterize and prove some properties of these curves

in terms of their curvature functions.
