Sir Ralph Warren (c. 1486 – 11 July 1553) was twice Lord Mayor of London, for the first time in 1536 and the second in 1543.
Ralph Warren was the son of Sir Thomas Warren of Feering, Essex, and grandson of William Warren.
Warren was a London mercer. He served as alderman, as Sheriff in 1528, and as Lord Mayor in 1536 and 1543. He was knighted in the first year of his mayoralty by Henry VIII.
He lived at Fulham House, a Grade II listed house at 87 Fulham High Street, Fulham.

By her marriage to Roger North, Christiana (née Warcup) had a son and daughter, Sir Edward North, and Joan North, who married, and was the Marian exile, Joan Wilkinson.
