Ryde Lifeboat Station was located at Ryde Pier, in the town of Ryde, on the Isle of Wight. A lifeboat was first placed at Ryde in 1858. Management of the station was transferred to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1894. Ryde Lifeboat Station was closed in 1923, following the placement of a motor-lifeboat at Bembridge. A double drowning incident at the end of Ryde Pier in 1956, prompted the reformation of a rescue organisation to serve the town, and the creation of Ryde Inshore Rescue Service.
