Ray Anthony Lewis (born May 15, 1975 in Bartow, Florida) is an American football linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). Lewis has appeared in nine Pro Bowls and been named an All-Pro seven times. Lewis is regarded as one of the best defenders in NFL history. He won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2000 and 2003; he was the sixth player to win the award multiple times. He was also the first linebacker to win the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award since 1971 and the first to win the award on the winning Super Bowl team.

Raymond ("Ray") Gray Lewis, C.M. (October 8, 1910 - November 15, 2003) was a track and field athlete, and the first Canadian-born black Olympic medalist.

Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Lewis was nicknamed Rapid Ray for his speed on the track. While excelling in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 metre distances in high school, Lewis was subjected to racism from coaches, teachers and the public. Despite this, he captured seventeen national championships (including a record four in one day) while a student at Hamilton's Central Collegiate.

Lewis briefly attended Milwaukee's Marquette University on a scholarship but came back after a semester. He found a position on the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) as a porter during the Great Depression, a job he would hold for 22 years. Lewis continued training - often running alongside the CPR train tracks during stopovers on the Canadian Prairies - and won a bronze medal as part of the 4x400 metre relay team at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California.

Two years later he won a silver medal in the mile relay at the British Empire Games (later the Commonwealth Games). Narrowly missing the cut for Canada's 1936 Olympic team, he ran for two more years before retiring after a bout of pain from shin splints; shin splints had caused Lewis problems in the latter part of his running career. He received greater recognition later in his life, including the Order of Canada in 2001; a Hamilton school named in his honour, Ray Lewis Elementary, was opened in 2005.

Ray Lewis is an American singer who performed with the doo wop and rhythm and blues band The Drifters between 1978 to 1988 and thereafter with the New Drifters.
