Ralph Barlow (1876 – 1897) was an English footballer who played for Burslem Port Vale in the mid-1890s.
Barlow joined Burslem Port Vale in January 1895, making his debut in a 2–0 win at Rotherham Town on 7 September 1895.[1] He played 29 Second Division games in the 1895–96 season, and scored his first goal in the Football League in a 2–1 win over Crewe Alexandra at the Athletic Ground on 26 October.[1] However, he suffered a breakdown in September 1896 and was sent to a convalescent home.[1] His recovery was a slow one, and so the club arranged a benefit match for him in April 1897 and released him from his contract at the end of the 1896–97 season.[1]
