Ronnie Ray (born January 2, 1954) is an American retired male track and field athlete, who competed in the sprints events during his career. He is best known for winning the men's 400 metres event at the 1975 Pan American Games in Mexico City, Mexico. In that race on 18 October 1975 Ray set his personal best: 44.45.
In 1973, while competing for Homer L. Ferguson High School in Newport News, Virginia, Ray established the National high school record in the 440 yard dash. High school competition shifted to metric distances in 1980, so the race is now rarely contested. Ray's time of 45.8 remains the record to this day.
