Ruddington is a disused railway station on the Great Central Main Line south of Nottingham.

It was originally a standard GCR country island type station, like those surviving at Quorn and Woodhouse and Rothley, accessed from a road overbridge. The station buildings have been demolished though the platforms still survive. Just south of the station is where the northern end of the northern preserved section of the GCR starts.

There are plans to restore the station & extend the preserved Great Central line through to the site of the old GCR Trent viaduct which was dismantled in the 1990s & also planned to be rebuild in the near future.
