Ridley Hall is a theological college located on the corner of Sidgwick Avenue and Ridley Hall Road in Cambridge (United Kingdom), which trains men and women intending to take Holy Orders as deacon or priest of the Church of England, and members of the laity working with children and young people as lay pioneers and within a pastoral capacity such as lay chaplaincy.
The college's first principal was the theologian Handley Moule, later Bishop of Durham.
Ridley Hall offers several Common Award qualifications, validated by Durham University.
Some students who are also in a constituent college of the university can be awarded qualifications by Cambridge.
