Ravenscar was a railway station on the Scarborough & Whitby Railway and served the village of Ravenscar, North Yorkshire, England.
It was opened on 16 July 1885 and was originally known as Peak as it was the highest point on the line at 631 feet above sea level. The station was located 10 miles 30 chains north of Scarborough Central and 11 miles 22 chains south of Whitby West Cliff. It was renamed Ravenscar on 1 October 1897, after a company had been formed to market the area for investors in property. Up until that point, the area was known as Peak , but the Scarborough & Whitby Railway Company agreed to change the name of the station to one taken from the name of the local hall and the Yorkshire suffix for a cliff, Scar. The planned building boom never materialised and just before the First World War, the company went bankrupt and the scheme was abandoned.
