Simpang Ragunan Ar-Raudhah is a Transjakarta bus rapid transit station located at the northern end of Harsono RM Street in Ragunan, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, Indonesia, serving Corridor 6. It is named after the junction between Harsono RM, T.B. Simatupang and Warung Jati Barat Streets to the north, and is located adjacent to Jami' Ar-Raudhah Mosque to the west and the Ministry of Agriculture Headquarters to the east.
Naming The BRT station was originally named Departemen Pertanian (Deptan), the then-incumbent name of the ministry when Corridor 6 commenced operations in 2007. The BRT station name remain unchanged for almost 15 years though the department was renamed "Ministry of Agriculture" in 2009. In January 2024, Departemen Pertanian BRT station was renamed Simpang Ragunan () as an effort to "neutralize" Transjakarta BRT stations from unofficial use of third-party name (including government entities like the Agriculture Ministry).
On 6 September 2024, Acting Governor of Jakarta, Heru Budi Hartono, inaugurated the Jami' Ar-Raudhah Mosque west of the BRT station. Before that, the name "Ar-Raudhah" (, meaning "garden") from the mosque was officially imbued into the station name, thus Simpang Ragunan Ar-Raudhah. Transjakarta stated that it was a not-for-profit naming right deal, which is part of its corporate social responsibility to the mosque's management (a similar practice to such in ASEAN Headquarters MRT station).
Building and layout Simpang Ragunan Ar-Raudhah BRT station is accessible via zebra crossing at the northern end and has a total of eight platform bays (four in each direction). The unique feature here is that the southernmost pair of bays are placed quiet far from the other bays. The building underwent a renovation between 26 May to 29 June 2024, creating an open-air design compared to the previous closed one. The building now is wrapped with minimalist wooden facades that mimics the Ar-Raudhah Mosque. West to to , and to →East← to
