Ray Langton is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street, played by Neville Buswell.

Ray was a womaniser and was involved with many women while living in the Street, including Sandra Butler (Patricia Fuller), Audrey Fleming (Gillian McCann), Vicki Bright (Clare Sutcliffe) and Sue Silcock (Angela Scoular).

When he discovered he had stomach cancer in 2005, he returned to Weatherfield to look for Tracy so he could make amends, arriving on Ken and Deirdre's wedding day and hit baby Amy Barlow (Rebecca Pike)'s pram.

He met Deirdre, Blanche Hunt (Maggie Jones) and Ken Barlow (William Roache) at the hospital and realised that Amy is his granddaughter and Tracy was her mother.

As of 2011, Philip Lowrie, who played Dennis Tanner, has the record for the longest break between appearances in Coronation Street, having been absent for 43 years.
