Ray Baverstock (born 3 December 1963) is a former professional football midfielder.

Baverstock began his career as an apprentice with Swindon Town, turning professional in December 1981.[1] He made his debut on 4 September 1982 as Swindon lost 2-1 away to Blackpool.[2] He played seventeen times that season, but was released in May 1983 and joined Cheltenham Town.[1]

He played over 250 games for Cheltenham and had spells with Gloucester City and Worcester City before joining Bath City in July 1992.[3] He played the first two games of the following season, but left in August 1992 to join Moreton Town after disagreements over his wages with Bath[3]

He went on to play for Gloucester City, Trowbridge Town, Forest Green Rovers and Cirencester Town,[4] before becoming manager of Cirencester Town and then Devizes Town from August 2002.[5] He left Devizes to take over as manager of Swindon Supermarine in November 2002,[6] and guided them to safety from relegation at the end of the season, albeit on the final day.[7] He resigned as manager in October 2003 due his increased business commitments,[7] but was reappointed just twelve days later.[8] He resigned again in January 2004.[9]
