Cecil B. Ferguson (August 27, 1883 – September 5, 1943)[1] was an American professional baseball player.

He was a right-handed pitcher over parts of six seasons (1906–1911) with the New York Giants and Boston Doves/Rustlers. During his career, he compiled a 29–46 record in 142 appearances, with a 3.34 earned run average and 298 strikeouts.

After his baseball career, Ferguson became an osteopathic doctor, and gave medical treatment to many Major League baseball players.[2] He graduated with a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) from the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine.[3] Ferguson was also the coach of the baseball team at the American School of Osteopathy.[4]
