L'église Saint-Nicolas est une église catholique paroissiale située à Raray, dans l'Oise, en France. C'est un petit édifice d'un style gothique flamboyant assez pur, qui a été bâti probablement au cours des années 1520 / 1530. Ses parties orientales réutilisent des structures plus anciennes, et le clocher en bâtière, ainsi que la voûte de la chapelle Saint-Joseph au rez-de-chaussée, remontent au milieu du XIIe siècle.
