Ulrich Ramé (born 19 September 1972) is a retired French footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
In a professional career which spanned two decades, he played mainly for Bordeaux (14 seasons), appearing in more than 500 official games and winning six major titles.
A French international during four years, Ramé represented the nation at Euro 2000.
Born in Nantes, Ramé started playing professionally with SCO Angers, making his Ligue 1 debuts in the 1993–94 season but being immediately relegated. Two years later the Maine-et-Loire club dropped down another division, but the player returned to the top flight the following season, signing for FC Girondins de Bordeaux.
After 23 matches in his debut campaign, helping his team finish fifth and reach the domestic League Cup final the following year, Ramé became Bordeaux's undisputed first-choice, going on to appear in nearly 500 official matches, with the side winning two national championships – separated by ten years – and three more league cups.
In 2009–10, after Cédric Carrasso's signing, 37-year-old Ramé became the backup. In the 2011 summer, after 520 games played with the Girondins all competitions comprised, he returned to Ligue 2 and joined CS Sedan Ardennes.
