Ringwood is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Maroondah.
It is notable as the location of a Cadbury production factory, and the Eastland Shopping Centre.
Ringwood has a train station that is an interchange for the Belgrave and Lilydale lines.
As part of the Melbourne 2030 planning policy Ringwood became a designated 'Transit City' as a push to locate higher-density development near public transport facilities.
The designation of Ringwood as a Transit City prompted community concerns over a lack of community consultation leading rise to the creation of the Ringwood Transit City Community Coalition (RTCCC).
