Raymond Teret (24 October 1941 – 5 May 2021) was an English radio disc jockey and convicted sex offender.
Teret was closely associated with fellow DJ Jimmy Savile in the early 1960s, sharing a flat with him and working as Savile's support DJ, assistant and chauffeur. He joined Radio Caroline North in the mid-1960s. He later worked in a series of DJ- and media-related work, mainly on Piccadilly Radio in Manchester and Signal Radio in Stoke-on-Trent.
In December 2014, two years after Savile was posthumously exposed as a paedophile, Teret was convicted of rape and indecent assault, and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He died in prison in May 2021 at the age of 79, having served just over six years of his sentence.
