William Gawtress Raymond (24 March 1855 – 23 April 1942) was a Liberal party member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was born in London, England and became a merchant and postmaster.

In 1890, Raymond became an alderman in Brantford, Ontario and served in that capacity until 1895. In 1898 and 1899 he was mayor of that city.

He was elected to Parliament at the Brantford riding in the 1921 general election.
