Ramon (Ra) McGuire (born June 13, 1950 in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian singer and songwriter, associated with the rock band Trooper.
McGuire has performed with Trooper from 1975, when their first album was released, to the present day.
From 1996 to 1998 McGuire and his wife, Debbie, spearheaded the formation of a Fine Arts based school in the Surrey, British Columbia school district. The school is presently housed at White Rock Elementary with another proposed for the northern end of the city. 2005 saw the couple (unsuccessfully) fighting high rise development in their hometown of White Rock, BC.
In 2006, McGuire published an account of life on the road with Trooper, Here for a Good Time, with Insomniac Press. In 2007, he served as one of three judges for the CBC's Seven Wonders of Canada competition and co-produced his son, Connor McGuire's first solo album, "Different After Dawn".
McGuire and Trooper continue to perform 100 shows a year across Canada.
