Ruxley is a small settlement mostly within the London Borough of Bromley and on the boundary with the London Borough of Bexley, in southeast London, England.

It lies on Maidstone Road between Swanley and Sidcup. It is near the south eastern boundary of Greater London with Kent. Its name is shared with the ancient Ruxley hundred of that county.
