Raoul Barouch (Arabic: راؤول باروش; born 12 May 1916) was a Jewish fencer who competed in Tunisia. He competed in the individual foil, sabre and épée events at the 1960 Summer Olympics.[1]

Barouch held the North African fencing championship for ten straight years: from 1950 to 1960. When he competed for Tunisia at the 1960 Olympics, he was the country's flag bearer, which remains the only time someone Jewish was ever the flag bearer for an Arab country.[2]
