Ravenswood is a rural town and locality in the Charters Towers Region, Queensland, Australia.

The Flinders Highway loosely bounds parts of the north-western boundary of the locality, entering from the north-east (Reid River) and exiting to the west (Broughton).

[4] The Great Northern railway line takes a similar route to the highway mostly immediately parallel to the highway to the north or the south, with the following stations: There are a number of neighbourhoods within the locality: After the discovery of gold in 1868 through to the early 1900s, the township flourished and grew to nearly 5000 residents and boasted 48 hotels.

Due to an industrial strike in 1912 and subsequently World War I, by 1915 mining declined and the town was deserted.

[15][16] Ravenswood Convent School opened in 1885 in association with St Patrick's Catholic Church.

The 16 graves of 9 adults and 7 children were found behind the Ravenswood State School sports oval; the burials are thought to have occurred in the late 1860s and early 1870s.

[1] Ravenswood has a number of heritage-listed sites, including: Two gold mines are in operation in the area; a large open cast pit behind the town and an underground one at nearby Mount Wright.

[4] Due to the extensive size of this locality, the distances involved to travel to either or both of these schools may make it impossible to attend.

Facilities in the town include a combined general store and post office, a primary school and two pubs, the Railway and the Imperial.
