Raymond Francis Newman (born June 20, 1945) is a former Major League Baseball left-handed pitcher for the Chicago Cubs in 1971 and the Milwaukee Brewers in 1972 to 1973.

Cubs manager Leo Durocher was not amused, and Newman was traded by the next spring.

Durocher, talking about his team that year, referred to "this nut who used to ride a bicycle to the ballpark.
