Ruddle Road Halt railway station was a minor station on the Gloucester-Newport Railway on the outskirts of Newnham, Gloucestershire. It was also the start of a branch line to Cinderford New station and Mitcheldean Road station on the Hereford, Ross and Gloucester Railway. It closed in 1917 and has since been demolished. The track remains in use on the Gloucester to Newport line. The branch to Cinderford closed in 1967 and has since been returned to agriculture and built on.
