'''Ranmoor''' ({{gbmapping|SK317862}}) is a suburb of the [[Sheffield|City of Sheffield]], [[England]]. It is an affluent suburb in the [[Fulwood, South Yorkshire|Fulwood]] ward of the city. It mostly developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it features a number of large houses that were built for the city's steel magnates, as well as, most notably, a large church, [[St John's Church, Ranmoor|St John's]]. This church was opened 24 April 1879 but was almost entirely destroyed by fire on 2 January 1887. All that survived from the original church was the tower and spire, which still stands today. A new building was built and the church reopened on 9 September 1888; it is now a Grade II* [[listed building]]. A row of early 19th century buildings near the church includes the ''Bull's Head'' and ''Ranmoor Inn'' public houses.
