Raphael Ris (1728–1813), also spelled Raphael Ries, was a Swiss rabbi and kabbalist. Born in Niederhagenthal, Alsace, in 1728, he dedicated his life to Jewish scholarship and spiritual leadership.

Ris later relocated to Switzerland, where he continued his religious work. He passed away in Endingen in 1813, leaving behind a legacy rooted in kabbalistic study and rabbinical service.
