Raymond Voinquel (11 January 1912, Fraize - 15 July 1994, Paris), French photographer. Specializing in portraits and male nudes, he is probably best remembered as the still photographer on upwards of one hundred and sixty films. During a span of more than forty years, beginning in the Thirties, he worked with the likes of Marcel Carné, Jean Cocteau, Yves Allégret, Max Ophüls, Jean-Pierre Melville, Luis Buñuel, Jean Renoir, Marcel L'Herbier, and Alfred Hitchcock.
