John A. Ferguson Senior High School is a secondary school located at 15900 S.W. 56th St. in Miami, Florida, USA. The school mainly serves the outer portion of Miami's Kendall suburb; its principal is Ms. Jane Garraux.

John A. Ferguson Senior High School was built to alleviate overcrowding at G. Holmes Braddock High School, and Felix Varela High School, which had reached populations of over 5,000. The school opened in the 2003-2004 school year with its first class attending G. Holmes Braddock Senior High School during more than half of the school year; Ferguson students were stationed in the back portables of the school. Students moved into the newly opened campus during the second half of the second semester as scheduled, although the school was not yet entirely completed. Ironically, Ferguson was created to relieve overpopulation in G. Holmes Braddock, but it now has a higher student population, ranking as the second most populated in the district after Barbara Goleman Senior High School.

Its school newspaper is The Talon, which is part of the High School National Ad Network.

The school is named after a local reverend who assisted the board in its efforts at desegregation. Several roads and streets have been renamed as a result of the school.
