Raymond Crawshaw (12 August 1908 – 31 December 1974) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Accrington Stanley and Birmingham. He played as a centre half.[5]

Crawshaw was born in Padiham, Lancashire. He began his football career with local team Great Harwood, and had spells with Southport and Burnley, but without playing in the Football League.[5] He joined Accrington Stanley in 1933,[6] and played 19 games in the Third Division North[5] before moving to First Division club Birmingham in April 1934 for a fee of £600. The form of George Morrall and Tom Fillingham restricted Crawshaw's appearances to four, and he returned to non-league football in 1934.[6]
