Professor Cyril Patrick Foray (16 March 1934 – 31 July 2003) was a Sierra Leonean educator, politician, diplomat and historian.
He served as the Sierra Leone High Commissioner to the Court of St. James's in London under two governments: Valentine Strasser's short-lived NPRC military regime and Ahmad Tejan Kabbah's.
[4] By the time Foray arrived at his new post in London, years of corruption and the astronomical cost of the Sierra Leone Civil War had depleted the financial resources of the government.
[7] Foray was cleared of any wrongdoing when the court determined that at the time of the sale the property at 33 Portland Place was in need of several million pounds' worth of repairs.
[9] On 31 July 2003, Professor Foray suffered a massive heart attack and died in Freetown, Sierra Leone, aged 69.
