Keep in mind that a "perfect" rectangle will only be perfect within a given coordinate reference system. If you change the CRS, the rectangle will warp.

For QGIS 3: See ahmadhanb's answer.
Original answer:
Check the CadTools plugin. It offers orthogonal line tools. Here's what the help says:
add a comment |
I tried the suggested solutions but found the CADTools plug-in a bit too complicated to get a quick hang of it. Besides, this is a rather simple task.
Instead I found the plug-in Rectangles Ovals Digitizing by Pavol Kapusta. The name is rather self explanatory and it works excellently. You can draw shapes from centre or by extent.

Another solution is you use the plugin azimuth and distance.

In order to create polygons or lines with specified lenghts en angles you need to enable the advanced digitizing panel. (View--panels-advanced digitizing)
Just add vector layer (lines or polygons) start editing and add feature. In the advanced editing window you can specify the angles and/or distances. To finish the sketch, click right mouse.
