Raymond Ternent (born 9 September 1948) is an English former football defender, who played in the Football League in the 1960s and 1970s.
He was spotted by scout Jack Hixon in his native north-east and Ternent joined Burnley from school in April 1964 and made his first team debut against Southampton on 8 April 1967.
However, Ternent only managed 13 league appearances for Burnley before moving to Southend United in June 1971, where he was part of the 1971-72 team who were promoted from Division Four.
