Raymond Hankin (born February 21, 1956 in Wallsend, Tyneside) is an English former footballer.
A powerful centre-forward, Hankin started his career at Burnley, where he scored 37 goals in 112 games and won three caps for the England U23 side. He moved to Leeds United in 1976, but scorded only 32 goals in four seasons. He moved across the Atlantic to join the Vancouver Whitecaps of the NASL.
In November 1981 he briefly moved back to England to join Arsenal for £400,000, with the fee dependent on Hankin's performances. After making just two League Cup appearances, Arsenal reversed their decision and let Hankin return to Vancouver. He played for Vancouver for another year before finally returning to join Middlesbrough in 1982. He saw out his career at Peterborough United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
