Ringstedt (in High German, in Low Saxon Ringst, literally in Ring Stead) is a village and a former municipality in the district of Cuxhaven, in Lower Saxony, Germany.

In 1648 it was transformed into the Duchy of Bremen, which was first ruled in personal union by the Swedish Crown – interrupted by a Danish occupation (1712–1715) – and from 1715 on by the Hanoverian Crown.

The ducal territory, including Ringstedt, became part of the new Stade Region, established in 1823.

Ringstedt is twinned with the Kentish village of West Farleigh in England.

This relationship was built on many years of friendship developed through both communities and their sports clubs.
