Ravensden is a village and civil parish located in the Borough of Bedford in Bedfordshire, England.

The parish borders the town of Bedford, with Mowsbury Park and farmland acting as a buffer between the two settlements. The village hosts Ravensden Lower School, and a pub called The Horse and Jockey, as well as All Saints Church. There is also a village hall.

A housing estate developed from the late 2000s called Woodlands Park is currently being established in the southern part of Ravensden parish. The estate is separated from the village by farmland, with vehicular access to the community coming from the Brickhill area of Bedford. Despite this, Woodlands Park remains part of Ravensden for electoral purposes, however the parish boundary is due to be redrawn in 2015, with Woodlands Park officially becoming part of Brickhill in Bedford.
