Ravenscar is a coastal village in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is within the civil parish of Staintondale and the North York Moors National Park, and is 10 miles (16 km) north of Scarborough. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the Borough of Scarborough. It is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
A National Trail, the 110-mile (180 km) Cleveland Way, passes through Ravenscar, as does the Cinder Track, a multi-use path that forms part of National Cycle Route 1. Ravenscar is also the eastern terminus of the challenging cross-moor Lyke Wake Walk, which ends where it meets the coast road. The sea around the area hosts a seal colony.
