Ray Charles Robinson (23 Eylül 1930 - 10 Haziran 2004), Amerikalı piyanist, müzisyen, ritim ve blues ustası.

Albany, Georgia'da doğmuştur. Bailey ve Aretha çiftinin çocuğudur. Beş yaşındayken, küçük kardeşi George banyo küvetine kafa üstü düşerek ve boğularak ölmüştür. Bu olaydan birkaç yıl sonra Ray yedi yaşındayken görme yetisini kaybetmiştir. (Nedeni glokom adlı bir göz hastalığıdır). Ancak hiçbir zaman görüntüyü tamamen kaybetmemiştir. Okul hayatına Florida Sağır ve Körler Okulu'nda devam etmiştir. Orada kör alfabesini ve enstrüman çalmayı öğrenerek müzik hayatına başlamıştır. Okuldan ayrıldıktan sonra müzisyen olarak çalışmaya başlamıştır. Ayrıca çoğu kişinin sevenidir. Atlantic Records'un sahibi Ahmet Ertegün sayesinde şöhrete kavuşmuştur.^[1]

Ray Charles'ın müzik hayatı 7 yaşında bir arkadaşını kıskanarak başlamıştır. Daha sonra aynı dönemde kardeşini kaybetmiş ve bu olay Ray'in müziğe olan ilgisini arttırmıştır. Yaşamının büyük bölümünde uyuşturucu problemi yaşamış ve sonraları bu problemi yenmiştir.

Hayatı 2004 senesinde Ray adlı filme konu olmuştur. Filmde Ray Charles'i, Jamie Foxx canlandırmıştır. Jamie Foxx, bu rolüyle 2005 senesinde En İyi Erkek Oyuncu Akademi ödülünü kazanmıştır.
