Ray Baxter (born 24 February 1940) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL
Recruited locally, from Kingsville, Baxter was a follower and key position player. He topped Footscray's goal-kicking in the 1959 VFL season, with 35 goals, six of which came in a loss to Essendon at Windy Hill.[1] His efforts were rewarded with selection in that year's Victorian team which played Tasmania.[2] He was the club's leading goal-kicker again in 1960, managing 37 goals, the seventh biggest tally in the league that season.[1] Playing as a centre half-back, Baxter was a member of the Footscray team which won the 1963 Night Premiership.
Darren Baxter, his son, would also play for Footscray.[3]
