Ray Cashley (born October 23, 1951, Bristol) was a football goalkeeper.

He joined Bristol City as a youth player and was their number one goalkeeper in the early 1970's. In the 1975-76 season City were promoted to the First Division but Cashley lost his place to John Shaw afterwards and had only brief spells in the side after this.

He even scored a goal for City in 1973–74 with a long clearance from his own penalty area against Hull City. Other goalkeepers to score this way include Peter Shilton, Steve Sherwood, Steve Ogrizovic and Luis Enrique Martinez Rodríguez.

Cashley had a loan spell with Hereford United in 1981 before playing for Clevedon Town. In August 1982 he returned to professional football with Bristol Rovers, who he made 53 league appearances for. He then played for Trowbridge Town before again returning to The Football League when he joined Chester City in October 1985. Cashley made nine appearances as City were promoted from Division Four at the end of the season.

He subsequently played for non-league sides East Worle and Weston-super-Mare.
