Raoul Pleskow (* 12. Oktober 1931 in Wien) ist ein US-amerikanischer Komponist und Musikpädagoge österreichischer Herkunft.
Pleskow floh mit seiner Familie nach dem "Anschluss Österreichs" über die Schweiz und Frankreich nach New York. 1945 wurde er amerikanischer Staatsbürger. Er besuchte von 1950 bis 1952 die Juilliard School of Music und studierte bis 1956 am Queens College bei Karol Rathaus und bis 1858 an der Columbia University bei Otto Luening Komposition.
Danach begann er am von Stefan Wolpe geleiteten C. W. Post College der Long Island University zu unterrichten. Er folgte Wolpe als Leiter des Musikdepartments nach und war von 1970 bis zu seiner Emeritierung Professor für Musik. Danach blieb er dem College als Composer in Residence verbunden.
PLeskows Werke wurden u.a. Cleveland Orchestra, vom Tanglewood Festival Orchestra, von der Plainfield Symphony, vom Orchestra da Camera, der South Dakota Symphony, dem Pierrot Consort, den Stony Brook Contemporary Chamber Players und dem Queens Symphony Orchestra aufgeführt. Für seine Kompositionen wurde er mit Preisen der Ford Foundation (1972). des Martha Baird Rockefeller Fund for Music (1972), des National Endowment for the Arts (1974, 1975, 1978) des National Institute of Arts and Letters (1974) und der Guggenheim Foundation (1977) ausgezeichnet.
