Ralph Cox (born February 27, 1957) is an American former professional ice hockey player.

Cox was the team's leading goal-scorer for three consecutive years and is the only University of New Hampshire player to ever score 40 goals in two different seasons.

He was the last player cut from the famed 1980 Mens Olympic Hockey Team that won the gold medal at Lake Placid, with head coach Herb Brooks citing the lingering effects of Cox's recent ankle injury as the reason.

[citation needed] In the 1981 television movie Miracle on Ice, the character of Ralph Cox is played by actor Brian Mozur.
