Ralph Kirby is a former English football manager who coached both CE Europa and FC Barcelona during the 1920s. In 1923 he guided Europa to the Campionat de Catalunya. After finishing level on points with FC Barcelona, Europa then beat them 1-0 in a title play-off. They then represented Catalonia in the Copa del Rey and after defeating Sevilla FC and Sporting Gijon in earlier rounds, they lost 1-0 to Athletic Bilbao in the final at the "Les Corts".

Kirby was subsequently appointed coach of FC Barcelona in 1925. His first game in charge was a 2-0 win in a friendly against First Vienna FC on Christmas Day 1925. He remained in charge for 39 games and in 1926 led a team including Paulino Alcántara, Sagibarbá, Josep Samitier and Franz Platko to a Championat de Catalunya/Copa del Rey double. In the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey they beat Real Madrid 8-1 on aggregate and then beat Athletic Madrid 3-2 in the final.

Kirby later rejoined CE Europa and coached them in La Liga during the 1930-31 season. However they finished bottom of the table and were relegated.
