Bishop Ranch is a large business park in San Ramon, California. Tenants include Chevron, Bank of the West, PG&E, Ford Motor Company, General Electric, and JPMorgan Chase.

Bishop Ranch and the East Bay Regional Park District's Bishop Ranch Regional Preserve were originally part of a 3,000-acre parcel of land called Norris Ranch. Western Electric acquired Bishop Ranch in 1955 to house a manufacturing plant. Sunset Development Company purchased the 585-acre parcel from Western Electric in 1978. In 2003, Chevron moved its international headquarters to Bishop Ranch.

The city of San Ramon is planning a new 40-acre downtown that will include a public plaza, hotel, independent cinema and a mix of residential units plus a new city hall, library, transit center and office space, to be developed by Sunset Development Company.
