Raymond Francis Harvey Dobson (26 April 1925 – 22 September 1980) was a British trade union official, politician and airline company executive.
He joined the Labour Party in 1947 and had a career in the Union of Post Office Workers, on which he served on the Executive.
Dobson fought the marginal constituency of Bristol North East at the 1964 general election, failing by 1,211 votes to win it from the Conservatives.
With a neighbouring seat, Tony Benn got on well with Dobson and appointed him as his Parliamentary Private Secretary in 1967.
Harold Wilson promoted Dobson to be an Assistant Whip in October 1969.
