Ravenswaaij is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Buren, and lies about 10 km northwest of Tiel.
It was first mentioned in 1139 as Raueneswade, and means "fordable place of Raven (person)".[3] Ravenswaaij started along the Lek River. A linear settlement appeared on the river dike. The church was destroyed in 1573 by the Spanish troops. The current church dates from 1644.[4] In 1840, it was home to 368 people.[5]
