Ravensthorpe railway station served the Ravensthorpe suburb of Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, England. It was situated on the Huddersfield line between Leeds and Manchester, 8 miles (13 km) north-east of Huddersfield.
The station was managed by Northern Trains, although almost all services, except a handful of peak-time Leeds to Wigan Trains, were provided by TransPennine Express.
Ravensthorpe station was situated just north-east of Thornhill LNW (London North Western) Junction, where a line branches to Wakefield Kirkgate. There are plans to rebuild the station to the west of the junction, on the route built by the former Manchester and Leeds Railway.
