'''Raymond Herbert Talbot''' (August 19, 1896 – January 30, 1955) was an American politician who served as the [27th governor of Colorado](/source/List_of_governors_of_Colorado) for eleven days in 1937.

Talbot, an electrical engineer, was elected to the [Colorado House of Representatives](/source/Colorado_House_of_Representatives) in 1926 and to the [Colorado Senate](/source/Colorado_Senate) in 1928. In 1932, he was elected the [26th lieutenant governor](/source/Lieutenant_Governor_of_Colorado) as the [running mate](/source/running_mate) of [Edwin C. Johnson](/source/Edwin_C._Johnson).  Johnson resigned as governor on January 1, 1937, eleven days before the expiration of his term, to take his seat in the [United States Senate](/source/United_States_Senate).  Talbot was sworn in as governor to fill the eleven-day interim until the start of the term of newly elected governor [Teller Ammons](/source/Teller_Ammons).

After his brief term as governor, Talbot served as a city commissioner and postmaster of Pueblo, Colorado, and continued in office as president of the Colorado State Fair Commission (1931–1953).

He married Juniatta L. Wilson and had two children.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-01-13 |title=Raymond Herbert Talbot |url=https://www.nga.org/governor/raymond-herbert-talbot/ |access-date=2023-10-13 |website=National Governors Association}}</ref>
