Ray Willis Nance (Chicago, 10 dicembre 1913 – New York, 28 gennaio 1976) è stato un trombettista, violinista e cantante jazz statunitense, noto soprattutto per la sua militanza nell'orchestra di Duke Ellington negli anni dal 1940 al 1960. Nance era un musicista eclettico, che aveva studiato pianoforte e violino, aveva imparato la tromba e il canto da autodidatta, ed era perfino un ottimo ballerino: la molteplicità dei suoi talenti gli aveva procurato il soprannome di "Floorshow" ("Lo spettacolo") Tra il 1932 e il 1937 Nance diresse un proprio gruppo a Chicago, poi fu ingaggiato da Earl Hines (1937-1938) e da Horace Henderson (1939-1940). La sua grande occasione venne nel 1940, quando fu chiamato da Duke Ellington per rimpiazzare la prima tromba dell'orchestra, Cootie Williams, che aveva lasciato Ellington per l'orchestra di Benny Goodman.
