Raymond Lawrence Perry (December 23, 1919 - May 3, 1973) is a former player and manager in Minor League Baseball.
Perry played in the minors from 1940–1954, missing 1943-1945 due to service in World War II. He put up good numbers in the minors but a broken leg and the service in the war hurt his chances to advance. He was a player-manager as his career wound down and remained a minor league manager through 1961, when he became a scout for the Chicago Cubs. He was with the Cubs from 1961–1967, then was a scout for the New York Yankees from 1968–1969 and Los Angeles Dodgers (1970–1973).
