Richard Griffin & Co. was a bookselling, publishing and scientific equipment company owned by Charles Griffin, based in Glasgow, Scotland.[1] In the 19th century it acted as publisher to the University of Glasgow.[2]

It was one of the earliest of the Griffin group of publishers (founded c.1800), and still publishing today as Richard Griffin (1820) Limited.[3]

They were market-leaders in publishing statistical and mathematical books (e.g. Griffin's Statistical Monographs),
