Raymond C. "Ray" Bonin (born November 20, 1942) is a former Canadian politician. He was a Liberal member of the Canadian House of Commons, representing the riding of Nickel Belt, from 1993 to 2008. Prior to entering politics, he was a teacher at Sudbury's Cambrian College. He was also chairman of the French Catholic school board from 1976 to 1985, and was a city councillor from 1988 to 1991.

On November 16, 2006, Bonin announced that he would not run for reelection in the 2008 federal election.[1] Former Greater Sudbury city councillor Louise Portelance won the nomination to stand as the new Liberal candidate for Nickel Belt,[2] but was defeated by Claude Gravelle of the New Democratic Party on election day.
