Callum James Ferguson (born 21 November 1984) is an Australian cricketer who currently plays Australian Domestic cricket for South Australia. He represented Australia at Under 19 level and debuted for the Australia one-day side in 2009. He made his Test debut for Australia in November 2016 but was dropped from the squad after just one test.

Ferguson attended Blackfriars Priory School in Prospect, South Australia before moving to Marryatville High School in Year 9, where he completed his schooling. Ferguson started his cricket with the Prospect District Cricket Club before moving to the West Torrens Cricket Club in the 2005/06 season. He has since become captain of West Torrens DCC and had the Ferguson-George Cricket Academy for promising young players in the West Torrens zone named after him and Southern Redbacks team-mate and fellow Australian Cricket Representative Peter George. In 2003 he was awarded a scholarship to the Australian Cricket Academy.

Ferguson made his first-class debut on 16 October 2004 against Victoria at his home ground, Adelaide Oval.

He had a very strong debut season, top scoring for South Australia with 733 runs at 38.57.

Ferguson scored his maiden first-class century with an innings of 103 against New South Wales at the Sydney Cricket Ground on 4 December 2004.

His ton came in the second innings after a disastrous yet memorable first innings for South Australia in which they were dismantled for a record low total of 29, mainly due to a devastating spell of 7/4 from Australian representative Nathan Bracken.
