Ray Wesley Lucas (October 2, 1908  - October 9, 1969) was a major league baseball pitcher, and a minor league baseball manager and scout.

Lucas had some managerial stints in the minor leagues including part of a season with the Kinston Eagles.[1] He pitched in the minors from 1929 to 1941. Lucas' best seasons were his last two when he went 37–22 in the West Texas–New Mexico League. His career was cut short after his hand was shot off in a hunting accident.

Following his playing days, Lucas scouted for the Toledo Mud Hens.

Born in Springfield, Ohio, Lucas died in Harrison, Michigan.[2]
