Billy Bray (1 June 1794 - 25 May 1868) was a 19th century Cornish preacher born at Twelveheads, a village in the parish of Kea, near Truro, Cornwall.

His grandfather and father were pious Methodists, but his father died when his children were young. In early adulthood Billy Bray lived a drunken life; he was converted through reading John Bunyan's "Visions of Heaven; and Visions of Hell". He then became attached to a group of Methodists known as the Bible Christians, and became a well known but unconventional preacher.

F. W. Bourne's biography "The King's Son" went through many editions for well over 100 years, under several titles.
