Raymond Roberts (August 25, 1895 – January 30, 1962) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who appeared in three games in Major League Baseball for the 1919 Philadelphia Athletics. After attending Mississippi State University and serving in World War I, he started his eleven-year professional baseball career with the Atlanta Crackers earlier in 1919. He was born and died in Cruger, Mississippi.

Roberts batted left and threw right-handed, stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and weighed 180 pounds (82 kg). In his brief tenure with Philadelphia, he started two games and relieved in a third.

In his three games and 14 innings pitched, Roberts allowed 14 runs, 12 earned, on 21 hits and three bases on balls. He fanned two and posted an earned run average of 7.71.
