Robbie Fergusson (born 30 August 1993 in Ayr, Scotland) is a Scottish rugby union player who plays for London Scottish at the Centre position. He formerly played for Glasgow Warriors.

Fergusson had been playing for amateur club Ayr RFC for a number of seasons, since joining the club's mini-rugby section; progressing through the ranks and making his first-team debut, as a 17-year-old, while still a pupil at Wellington School in his home town.

He has represented Scotland at under-17 level, under-18 level and under-20 level. He has also represented Glasgow at under-16, under-17 and under-18.[2]

He trained with Glasgow Warriors in the 2013–14 season.[3] He played for the side in a pre-season game against Aberdeen GSFP.[4]

His rugby development was curtailed on being diagnosed with cancer.[5] After chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Fergusson made a return to rugby in October 2014.[6]

He came off the bench in a Glasgow Warriors 'A' select versus Edinburgh Rugby 'A' select in December 2014.[7]

He was named in the new Scottish Rugby Academy as a stage 3 player.[8] He was part of the squad assigned to Glasgow and the West district [9] and was aligned to Ayr RFC and Glasgow Warriors for the 2015-16 season.

He was named in the Glasgow Warriors squad to take on the French side Clermont in a pre-season game[10] in the 2015 Auvergne Challenge in Issoire.[11] During the match Fergusson came on as a substitute.[12] He made his competitive début coming off the bench in Glasgow's opening game against the Scarlets in the 2015 Pro12.

In November 2015 he was loaned to London Scottish, by Glasgow Warriors, to gain more experience of playing professional rugby.

On 7 April 2016 this deal was made permanent and Fergusson officially signed for London Scottish.[13]
