Raymond Daniel Manzarek (Chicago, 12 de Fevereiro de 1939 - Rosenheim, 20 de maio de 2013) foi um músico americano. Ele foi o tecladista da banda de rock The Doors, de 1965 a 1973, e também a partir de 2001 (por motivos legais, chamada de Manzarek-Krieger desde 2009).
Na música "Close to you" gravada ainda com a formação original do The Doors, ou seja, com Jim Morrison, quem canta é Ray, não Jim. Após a morte de Jim, o The Doors lançou 2 álbuns, Full Circle e Other Voices, nos quais os vocais eram de Ray ou Robbie, o guitarrista.
Manzarek gravou também uma adaptação rock de Carmina Burana de Carl Orff com Philip Glass. Produziu a banda X, de Los Angeles, tocou com Iggy Pop e colaborou com o poeta Michael McClure, o qual acompanhou enquanto este recitava poesia.
Ray também formou a banda Nite City, que lançou dois álbuns: um álbum homônimo em 1977 e em 1978.
