Raymond Westcott Briggs (July 19, 1878 – December 24, 1959) was a United States Army officer and served as a Brigadier general during World War I.

Two years later, as a lieutenant, he helped save property from the fire that followed the great San Francisco Earthquake by blowing up buildings to create a firebreak.

Briggs commanded the 304th and 311th Field Artillery Regiments in France until August 8, 1918, when he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general.

He was then appointed commanding general of the Eighth and Eighteenth Field Artillery Brigades along with chief of the Remount Service.

When the war ended, Briggs returned to his rank of colonel, and served under Douglas MacArthur as his chief of staff in the Philippines.
