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. After serving his only federal term, the 14th Canadian Parliament, riding boundaries were changed and Raymond was defeated by Robert Edwy Ryerson of the Conservatives at the new Brantford City riding in the 1925 federal election.
