A tomb raider is a term describing anyone who breaks into tombs or cemeteries for the purposes of primarily looting and/or vandalism.
Tomb raiding was common in past centuries in places like Egypt, where the ancient tombs of the Pharaohs often yielded much treasure for the raiders. Tomb raiding still happens today around the world, in part because many archaeological sites cannot afford to hire or install property security.
Today the term Tomb Raider is more associated with a series of violent video games.
