Hugh "Hughie" Ferguson (2 March 1895 – 8 January 1930) was a Scottish footballer.
One of only seven men in the history of the English and Scottish Football Leagues to have scored 350 League goals, he began his career at Motherwell and established himself as a consistent scorer, finishing as the top goalscorer in the Scottish Football League on three occasions between 1918 and 1921.
His 284 league goals remains a record at the club. In 1925, he moved to Football League First Division side Cardiff City and continued his scoring exploits, including scoring the winning goals in the 1927 FA Cup Final, in a 1–0 victory over Arsenal, and the 1927 FA Charity Shield, in a 2–1 victory over amateur side Corinthians, making Cardiff the only non-English team to have ever won the FA Cup or the FA Charity Shield.
Despite his prolific scoring record, finishing his career with a goal average of 0.855 per game, he was never capped for Scotland.
He finished his career with a short spell with Dundee which ended when he committed suicide on 8 January 1930 at the age of 34.
