Walter 'Wally' Raleigh (born 1 July 1895) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood and Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Raleigh only managed to play six times during his three seasons at Collingwood and after the war crossed to Carlton. In contrast to his stint with Collingwood, Raleigh barely missed a game for Carlton and played in five finals. The last of those was the narrow loss to Richmond in the 1921 VFL Grand Final, which he played from a half back flank. He spent the rest of the 1920s playing for Brunswick and captain-coached their 1925 VFA premiership team.
