'''''The Imperial Gazetteer of India''''' was a [[gazetteer]] of the [[British Indian Empire]], and is now a historical reference work. It was first published in 1881. [[William Wilson Hunter|Sir William Wilson Hunter]] made the original plans of the book, starting in 1869.

The 1908, 1909 and 1931 "New Editions" have four encyclopedic volumes covering the geography, history, economics, and administration of India; 20 volumes of the alphabetically arranged gazetteer, listing places' names and providing statistics and summary information; and one volume each comprising the index and atlas. The New Editions were all published by the [[Oxford University Press]], Oxford, UK.

==Editions==
The first edition of ''The Imperial Gazetteer of India'' was published in nine volumes in 1881. A second edition, augmented to fourteen volumes, was issued in the years 1885–87. After the death of [[William Wilson Hunter|Sir William Wilson Hunter]] in 1900, [[Herbert Hope Risley|Sir Herbert Hope Risley]], [[William Stevenson Meyer]], [[Richard Burn (Indologist)|Sir Richard Burn]] and [[James Sutherland Cotton]] compiled the twenty-six volume ''Imperial Gazetteer of India''.<ref name="Scholberg1970">{{cite book|author=Henry Scholberg|author-link=Henry Scholberg|title=The District Gazetteers of British India: A Bibliography|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BYsZAAAAMAAJ|year=1970|publisher=Zug, Switzerland: Inter Documentation Company|isbn=9780800212650}}</ref>

A revised form of the article on India, greatly enlarged and with statistics brought up to date, appeared as an independent volume in 1893, under the title of ''The Indian Empire: Its Peoples, History, and Products.''

All of these were edited by Hunter, who formed the original plan of the work in 1869. A parallel series of publications known as the ''Imperial Gazetteer of India: Provincial Series'' were prepared.
