Raymond Payne "Chip" Ambres (born December 19, 1979) is an American former right-handed Major League Baseball outfielder.

He was unable to make the majors with the Marlins, becoming a six-year minor league free agent at the end of the 2004 season, his second at the AA level.

On July 19, 2005, they traded him, along with minor leaguer Juan Cedeno, to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Tony Graffanino.

One day after being acquired from the Red Sox, he made his Major League debut at Jacobs Field in Cleveland against the Indians, going 2-for-4 with a double.

On June 10, 2009 the New York Mets acquired Chip Ambres from the Boston Red Sox as part of a conditional deal.
