Raymond Crawshaw (1908 – after 1937) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Accrington Stanley and Birmingham. He played as a centre half.^[1]

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.^[1] He joined Accrington Stanley in 1933,^[2] and played 19 games in the Third Division North^[1] 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.^[2]
