Raymond Munds (28 December 1882 – 29 July 1962) was an English professional cricketer who played seven first-class cricket matches for Kent County Cricket Club in the early 20th century. Munds was a left-handed batsman who bowled right-arm slow. He was born at Lydd in Kent.

Munds was a product of Kent's Tonbridge Nursery, the county's development centre for young professionals at Tonbridge, and was considered a promising batsman – scoring 1,416 runs in 1907.[1][2] He played for the Kent First XI between 1902 and 1908. He played in three County Championship matches, three times against MCC and once against Cambridge University.[3] He made his debut for Kent in 1902 against MCC and played his final first-class match in 1908 against Cambridge University. He made a number of appearances for the Kent Second XI and MCC in non-first-class matches and for many years for Hythe Cricket Club.[4][5] His Wisden obituary states that he played as a wicket-keeper but there is no evidence that he did so in first-class matches.[3][4]

He later stood as an umpire in three first-class fixtures and in nearly 50 Minor Counties Championship matches.[6][7] He died at Folkestone on 29 July 1962 aged 79. Munds' father was groundsman at Hythe Cricket Club for 47 years and his brother, Arthur, played one first-class match for Kent in 1896.[8]
