Fergusson College, Historical college in Shivajinagar, India.

Fergusson College is a higher education institution in Shivajinagar, Pune, set on a 65-acre campus where Victorian buildings stand alongside traditional Indian architectural styles. The grounds are divided into separate sections for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, with arts and science programs distributed across dedicated wings.

Fergusson College was founded in 1885 by Vaman Shriram Apte, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Vishnushastri Chiplunkar, Mahadeo Ballal Namjoshi and Gopal Ganesh Agarkar, after the Deccan Education Society was formed in 1884. Apte served as first principal, and Gopal Ganesh Agarkar as second from 1892 until his death in 1895. The land, 37 acres on the west bank of the Mutha River, was leased for 99 years by Shirole, the former Patil of Bhamburde. The college was inaugurated by William Wordsworth, principal of Elphinstone College.

The college is named after Sir James Fergusson, Governor of Bombay, not after any donor family. Its founders were early leaders of the Indian National Congress, and the institution is called the 'cradle of Indian polity' and a 'twin of the Congress'. Vinayak Damodar Savarkar enrolled here in 1902.

The campus sits centrally in the Shivajinagar neighborhood and is generally open to visitors during daytime hours, except during exam periods or holidays. Walking through the main gates from surrounding streets provides the easiest access to the grounds.

The Holkar royal family donated their wada and gave financial help for the college's construction, as recorded in Marathi accounts of its founding. Former principal V. M. Bachal wrote nearly 1,500 manuscript pages on the college's history, published in 2010 as Vatchal Sawashe Varshanchi, covering 1885 to 2010.
