Norwood, known legally as Norwood-Ravenswood, is a United Kingdom charity established in 1785 in the East End of London. Its name comes from its long-running home for Jewish children, Norwood Hall, in the south London suburb of West Norwood which opened in 1863 and closed in 1961.

In 1996, it merged with Ravenswood, a Berkshire-based charity for people with learning disabilities, to create one of the largest welfare organisations within the British Jewish community.

Norwood provides services supporting vulnerable children, families and people with learning disabilities, within the Jewish and wider communities in London and the South East.

Queen Elizabeth II was Norwood's Patron during her reign and its Patron of Children's Services is Cherie Blair.
