Charles Raymond Davys Tuckey (15 June 1910 – 15 October 2005) was an English tennis player.

Raymond Tuckey and Pat Hughes won the doubles in Wimbledon in 1936, defeating Charles Hare and Frank Wilde in five sets. In 1937 he again reached the men's doubles finals at Wimbledon but this time lost with Pat Hughes against American team of Don Budge and Gene Mako in four sets. He was part of the winning British Davis Cup team in 1935 (against the US) and 1936 (against Australia) and of the 1937 team that lost the final to the US.{{cite web|title=Davis Cup - Raymond Tuckey Player Profile|url=http://www.daviscup.com/en/players/player/profile.aspx?playerid=10004592#|publisher=ITF|access-date=10 April 2012}}

His mother, Agnes Tuckey, was, with Hope Crisp, the first winner of the Wimbledon mixed doubles in 1913. Agnes, when in her fifties, partnered Raymond in the mixed doubles in 1931 and 1932, the only instance of a parent and child teaming up at the championships. His sister, Kay Tuckey, was also a tennis player.{{cite web|author1=John Henderson|title='It was a sport in my day'|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2004/jun/27/wimbledon2004.wimbledon4|publisher=The Guardian|date=27 June 2004}}{{cite web|title=Raymond Tuckey|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1501707/Raymond-Tuckey.html|publisher=The Telegraph|date=29 October 2005}}
