Ralph Gilles, born on January 14, 1970 in New York, NY, is an American automobile designer. Currently the Vice President of Design at Chrysler LLC[1], Gilles styled the 2005 Chrysler 300 — after joining Chrysler in 1992.

Gilles has been passionate about cars since the age of 6 and began drawing concept vehicles by the age of 8. When Gilles was 14, an aunt (Giselle Mouscardy) noticed he was talented at sketching cars and wrote to former Chrysler Chairman Lee Iacocca to inform him of her nephew's talents. A reply came from K. Neil Walling, Chrysler's design chief at the time, suggesting Gilles attend one of three design schools. He attended the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. In 2002, Gilles received an Executive MBA from Michigan State University. As of August, 2008, Gilles has replaced the now retired Trevor Creed as Senior Vice President of Design.^[1]
