Ralf-Reimar Wolfram (31 March 1912 – 9 February 1945) was a German Korvettenkapitän during World War II. During his career he commanded two U-boats for a total of 118 days at sea spanning four patrols. During his third patrol he successfully sunk the "Robert Gray," an American Liberty class merchant ship. The "Robert Gray" was a part of American convoy HX-234 en route to London.

For Wolfram's fourth patrol, he commanded "U-864" during Operation Caesar. He was killed when his submarine was sunk by the British submarine, HMS "Venturer". This was the only known instance of one submerged submarine sinking another submerged submarine. "U-864" remains Wolfram's grave to this day.
