Ray Jauch (born February 11, 1938) is a former coach in the Canadian Football League, USFL, and the Arena Football League. He won 127 regular season games in the CFL, the sixth highest win total by a head coach in the league's history.

A star high school athlete, Jauch played running back for the 1958 National Champion University of Iowa Hawkeyes, leading the nation in yards per carry. He played in the 1959 Rose Bowl against California. Despite being drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the 1960 American Football League Draft, he went to Winnipeg to launch his pro career in the CFL. His career came to an abrupt halt when he suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the 49th Grey Cup. A year later, Jauch entered coaching and in 1964 returned to Iowa as an assistant on Jerry Burns' staff. Two years later, it was back to Canada where Jauch accepted a position on Neill Armstrong's Edmonton Eskimos staff. When Armstrong left in 1970 to join Bud Grant in Minnesota, Jauch was elevated to head coach.

Jauch coached football in the CFL from 1970-1982. He coached the Edmonton Eskimos from 1970-76. He had a 64-43-4 record, appearing in three Grey Cups, winning in 1975 and won the Annis Stukus Trophy for coach of the year in 1970. He stepped down as head coach following the 1976 season to become director of football operations.
