Ralph Carter (born May 30, 1961 in New York City) is an American actor.

Carter is best known for his work as a child and teenager, both in the Broadway musical Raisin (based on the Lorraine Hansberry drama A Raisin in the Sun) and as the character Michael Evans, the youngest member of the Evans family, on the 1970s sitcom Good Times. For his work in Raisin, Carter was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Supporting or Featured Actor (Musical). After Good Times, Carter has appeared in both Broadway and off-Broadway plays.

There are many rumours floating around the Internet that Ralph Carter died of AIDS. These are merely rumours; as far as can be ascertained, Carter is still alive and well.

Earlier in the 70's, while Good Times was aired, Carter tried his hand at Rap labels, but even though they were released, they weren't really popular.
