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. It continues from South Street, a major east-west route in the southern suburbs which also provides access to the Kwinana Freeway and Murdoch railway station.

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

It is part of State Route 13.[1]
