Ranford Road is a major road in the southeastern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, and services a number of housing estates in Canning Vale and Southern River, as well as forming part of one of the two major routes between the port city of Fremantle and Armadale.

Ranford Road has recently undergone major roadworks and was upgraded to a dual carriageway between Warton Road and Tonkin Highway.
