Raymond Frederick "Ray" Streater (born 1936) is a British physicist, and professor emeritus of Applied Mathematics at King's College London. He is best known for co-authoring a text on quantum field theory, the 1964 "PCT, Spin and Statistics and All That."

Ray Streater was born on 21 April 1936 in Three Bridges in the parish of Worth, Sussex, England, United Kingdom, the second son of Frederick Arthur Streater (builder) (1905-1965) and Dorothy Beatrice Streater, née Thomas (17 December 1907 - 16 December 1994).

Professor Streater's career may be summarised as follows.

Streater co-authored a classic text on mathematical quantum field theory, reprinted as

He has also become interested in the dynamics of quantum systems that are not in a pure state, but are large. This is expressed in
