Ryan Walker is a retired American soccer forward who played professionally in the USL A-League.

In 1993, Walker began his college career at Sacramento State University.[1] In 1995, he transferred to Coastal Carolina University. In his two season at Coastal Carolina, he scored twenty-six goals, adding fifteen assists, in forty games.[2] In February 1997, the Charleston Battery selected Walker in the Territorial round of the 1997 A-League Draft.[3] Walker did not join Charleston, but signed with the Myrtle Beach Seadawgs of the USISL D-3 Pro League instead. When David Irving, head coach of the Seadaws moved to the Wilmington Hammerheads in 1999, Walker made the move as well.[4] He was First Team All League that season.[5] The Hammerheads sent Walker on loan to the Charleston Battery for the Battery’s final regular season game.[6] In 2000, Walker moved up to the Raleigh Capital Express of the USL A-League.[7] Raleigh ceased operations at the end of the season and in February 2001, Walker moved to the Atlanta Silverbacks where he finished his career.[8]
