Raúl Roland Spank (born 13 July 1988, in Dresden) is a retired German athlete who specialised in the high jump.

Representing Germany at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he finished in fifth place with a personal best of 2.32 m, just two centimetres away from a medal position.

Although he had equalled his new indoor best of 2.30 m in the qualifying rounds,[1] he only managed 2.25 m in the final of the competition, resulting in a seventh-place finish.

He went to the first European Team Championships in Leiria, Portugal in June but he finished in tenth with a sub-par jump of 2.15 m. At the World Championships in Berlin he won the bronze medal with personal best-equalling jump of 2.32 m. He improved his best shortly afterwards, winning the Internationales Hochsprung-Meeting Eberstadt meeting with 2.33 m.[2] He won at the 2010 German Athletics Championships, but did not make the team for the 2010 European Athletics Championships as he had not achieved the standard set by the German Athletics Federation.

[3] During his career Spank was coached by Erika Falz and Jörg Elbe and was a member of Dresdner SC 1898's athletics team.
