A causewayed ring ditch is a type of prehistoric monument.

It comprises a roughly circular ditch, segmented by several causeways which cross it. Within the ditch is a central area used for inhumations and cremations, usually covered beneath a barrow. They are considerable smaller than the causewayed enclosures they resemble.

In the British Isles they date to the Neolithic period.{{NHLE|desc=Causewayed enclosure and two ring ditches 140m south-east of New Farm |num=1009237 |grade=|access-date=8 November 2024}}
