Raymond James Coxon (18 August 1896 – 31 January 1997) was a British artist.
He enrolled at the Leeds School of Art, the Royal College of Art, and became a teacher in the Richmond School of Art.
The creative work of his long and successful career—singly and in various art groups—included landscape and portrait painting, abstract works, creating church murals and serving as a war artist during World War II.
In particular he was known for the bold style of his figure and portrait work.
After World War Two his paintings became more abstract.
