William Gawtress Raymond (24 March 1855 – 23 April 1942) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in London, England and became a merchant and postmaster. Raymond was a former student of the Ontario Institute for the Blind in Brantford (now The W. Ross Macdonald School), after losing most of his sight on a voyage to the Cape of Good Hope in 1873. He began his attendance at the school immediately after emigrating to Canada in 1873.
