Raymond Ching (born 1939), also known as Raymond Harris-Ching and Ray Ching, is a New Zealand painter. Ching is known for his contemporary bird and wildlife paintings.

Around the age of twelve, he dropped out of high school and started an apprenticeship in advertising, eventually becoming an art director. Dissatisfied with this career path, he turned to painting. A seminal experience from his youth has been noted as influencing his interest in ornithological illustration. During a class visit to a museum, Ching became fascinated by a collection of stuffed hummingbirds, inspiring a lifelong love and fascination with birds, feathers, and flight.

Later, Ching moved to London, then East Sussex.

He is married to the author, Carol Sinclair.
