Ravno is a village and municipality located in Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, an entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ravno was a separate county until 1963, when it became a part of the Trebinje municipality. In 1994, the border changed and Ravno became a municipality again.

These added borderlands went under the title Travunian Marches (Trebinjska Krajina) and were mostly inhabited by Serbs. The settlement of Ivanica has an unobstructed view of the Adriatic sea.
