Raymond Francis Krouse (March 21, 1927 – April 9, 1966) was an American football defensive lineman in the National Football League for the New York Giants (1951–1955), the Detroit Lions (1956–1957), Baltimore Colts (1958–1959) and Washington Redskins (1960). He played college football for the University of Maryland.
Krouse attended Western High School, before moving on to the University of Maryland (Δ Φ [Delta Phi]).
In 1992, he was posthumously inducted into the University of Maryland Athletic Hall of Fame. The Ray Krouse Award is given to the team's most valuable player.
Krouse was selected by the New York Giants in the second round (25th overall) of the 1951 NFL Draft. The 1951 Giants defense he was part of, allowed the fewest total yards and rushing yards in the NFL for that season. 1952 was said to be his best professional year. On April 26, 1956, he was traded to the Detroit Lions in exchange for defensive tackle Dick Modzelewski.
He helped the Detroit Lions win the 1957 NFL Championship. On July 17, 1958, he was traded to the Baltimore Colts in exchange for a third round draft choice (#36-Ron Luciano).
