Ravenscar, originally known as Peak, was a railway station on the Scarborough & Whitby Railway and served the village of Ravenscar in the English county of North Yorkshire. It first opened in 1885 and finally closed in 1965 along with the rest of the line. The only remaining structure from the station is one of its platforms, but the Cinder Track, a multi-use trail that uses much of the rail line, passes by it.
