Ravensdale Park is a village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire roughly 2.5 miles north of Belper, Derbyshire England.

It originated as one of the seven royal parks within Duffield Frith. In time it was the location of the chief hunting lodge for the Frith, and there are frequent entries in the reccords of the Duchy of Lancaster referring to it. John of Gaunt visited frequently.
