Ramenskoye (Russian: Ра́менское, Russian pronunciation: [ˈramʲɪnskəjə]) is a town and the administrative center of Ramensky District in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located 46 kilometers (29 mi) southeast of Moscow.
The town's name derives from an Old Slavonic word "раменье" (ramenye), meaning "on the edge of forest".

In the 1770s, the selo of Novo-Troitskoye (Russian: Ново-Троицкое) was established here; its name later changed to Ramenskoye.[citation needed] In 1831, a textile factory was founded in Ramenskoye and by the second half of the 19th century, it had grown to be one of the largest enterprises in the Russian Empire. On March 15, 1926, Ramenskoye was granted town status.[citation needed]
