Raymond Christopher Perry (born December 27, 1981 in Advance, North Carolina) is an NFL running back. The Cincinnati Bengals selected Perry with the 26th pick in the first round of the 2004 NFL Draft.

Perry played college football at the University of Michigan. In 2003, his senior season, he rushed for 1,674 yards and 18 touchdowns and finished 4th in Heisman Trophy voting and 4th in Michigan annals for rushing yards in a season. That year, Perry also received the Doak Walker Award given to the nation's top running back.

Among the other records that he has set include his Michigan-record 51 carries against Michigan State in 2003 and accumulating the fifth-most rushing yards in school history.

Perry played only 2 games in his rookie season with the Bengals due to injuries, but became a significant contributor in the 2005 season. His speed and skill as a receiver out of the backfield proved to be a superb compliment to pro bowl running back Rudi Johnson, who is more of a "Power" rusher and is used infrequently as receiver. Perry finished the 2005 season with 279 rushing yards, along with 51 receptions for 328 yards and 2 touchdowns. His 51 receptions were the most ever by a Bengals running back in one season since James Brooks caught 54 passes in 1986.
