Ray Powell (7 August 1923 – 7 July 1993) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Powell was a utility player, often featuring as a half forward flanker.[1] He only twice played more than half the game in a season, with 16 appearances in 1944, followed by 14 games in 1945.[2] His 43 goals in 1944, five of them in the finals, were enough to top Essendon's goal-kicking.[3]
