Ruislip ( ) is a suburb in the Hillingdon borough of West London. Prior to 1965, it was in Middlesex. Ruislip lies west-north-west of Charing Cross.
The manor of Ruislip appears in the Domesday Book, and some of the earliest settlements still exist today, designated as local heritage sites. The parish church, St Martin's, dates back to the 13th century and remains in use. The buildings at the northern end of Ruislip High Street form the core of the original village square and are now Grade II listed. The High Street originally featured a central water pump, but this was moved out of the road in the 1970s as a result of increased traffic.
