Ray Boltz (born 1953 in Muncie, Indiana, United States) is a singer songwriter that first came to wide notice in contemporary Christian music, many of his songs tell stories of faith and inspiration. He was raised by his parents William and Ruth Boltz, and was married to his wife Carol Boltz for over 30 years prior to coming out as gay in 2008. They have four children.

Boltz was virtually unknown when he wrote "Thank You", which won the Song of the Year (Dove Award for Song of the Year) prize at the 1990 GMA Dove Awards. After the release of Songs from the Potters Field in 2002, and his last tour in 2004, Boltz retired from the music industry and moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

In a September 2008 interview with the Washington Blade, Boltz came out (coming out) of the closet and announced he was gay, but not sexually active at the time. Since then, Boltz has performed at several churches of the Metropolitan Community Church, a gay-affirming (LGBT-welcoming church programs) Christian denomination.

In 2010, he released the album True.
