Ray Montgomerie (born 17 April 1961) is a Scottish former football player.

Montgomerie captained the Kilmarnock team that won the 1997 Scottish Cup Final. After 10 years' service to Kilmarnock, he was awarded a testimonial match against Celtic in July 1998.[1] In a poll conducted by Football Focus in 2005, Montgomerie was voted by Kilmarnock fans as their all-time cult hero.[2]

In October 2016 he was inducted into the Kilmarnock 'Hall of Fame' alongside other well-known former players such as Tommy McLean, James Fowler and Stuart McLean.[3]
