Raymond Han is an American painter who was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1931. After study with Willson Young Stamper (1912–1988) at the Honolulu Museum of Art, Han moved to New York City and studied at the Art Students League of New York with Frank Mason (born 1921) and Robert Beverly Hale (1901–1985). Han resides in upstate New York.

He is best known for his still lifes in the photorealism genre. They are painted in cool colors with a great deal of white. Recently, he has begun incorporating nudes into some of his canvases. The Honolulu Museum of Art, the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute (Utica, New York), the Yager Museum of Art & Culture (Hartwick College, Oneonta, New York) and the Picker Art Gallery (Colgate University, Hamilton, New York) are among the public collections holding work by Raymond Han.

He is currently represented by The Jason McCoy Gallery, Madison Avenue, New York.
