Raymond Sweeney is an Irish sportsperson. He plays Gaelic football with his local club Dungloe and has been a member of the Donegal senior inter-county team.
Sweeney was sent off in Donegal's 2003 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final against Armagh at Croke Park, in an incident later described as "one of the great injustices in Donegal football" history.
Sweeney made his Championship debut against Antrim in 1998. He missed Donegal's National Football League in 2007 after leaving the squad at the end of the previous season due to a disagreement with the then manager Brian McIver. He also never won the Ulster Senior Football Championship during his career. However, he did win the 2009 Dr. McKenna Cup with Donegal and the 2004 Railway Cup with Ulster. Sweeney retired from intercounty football in 2010 after more than a decade and 96 games.
His brother Adrian also played for Dungloe and Donegal.
