Ramakrishna Ashrama is an orphanage and primary school for Indian children aged 6 to 20. It is located along Scotland Road in Penang. In addition to housing children who were without parents, the orphanage aims to propagate the teachings of Bhagawan Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsar and other Great Masters of Hinduism. It also maintains a scholarship fund to help Indian children further their studies.

The orphanage was inaugurated on 10 November 1938 under the guidance of a guru, Swami Bhaswarananda Maharaj, who was in residence at the Ramakrishna Mission in Singapore.

In addition to the orphanage, the complex also includes a primary school, a multi-purpose hall and the Bhagawan Sri Ramakrishna Temple.
