Raymond John Bishop (born November 24, 1955 in Hengoed, Glamorgan) is a former Welsh professional footballer. Ray Bishop, a forward, began his football career with Bargoed Youth Club, joining Welsh League side Tredomen at the age of 18. He moved on to Ton Pentre before joining Southern League side Cheltenham Town, while working as a Post Office engineer. He had a two month spell on trial with Brighton & Hove Albion, then managed by Alan Mullery, but was unsuccessful and returned to Cheltenham from where he was signed by Cardiff City for a fee of £3,000 in January 1977. His league debut came in August the same year, and he went on to make 102 league appearances for the Bluebirds, scoring 33 goals.

On February 26, 1981, after losing his place in the Cardiff side, he moved to local rivals Newport County, costing £40,000, but could not settle suffering multiple injuries, making only 25 appearances,scoring 7, before moving on a free transfer to Torquay United in August 1982. He scored four times in his first three games for Torquay, but after getting injured in the third game never regained full fitness at Plainmoor and retired from football in 1984, having made 41 league appearances for Torquay, scoring 8 times.

Having finished his professional football career, has now become a successful property developer in the Westcountry.
