George Ruffin Bridgeforth (October 5, 1873 – January 30, 1955) was an American farmer and educator. He was the first African American to attend the University of Massachusetts Amherst (then Massachusetts Agricultural College), graduating in 1901. He later taught agriculture and directed agricultural operations at the Tuskegee Institute in his home state of Alabama and led the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute in Topeka. His descendents run a fifth-generation farm in Alabama—the state's largest Black-owned farm.
