Bagby (formerly Ridley's Ferry and Benton Mills) is a ghost town in Mariposa County, California, on the Merced River. The site originated as a ferry crossing around 1850 and later became a stamp mill center and a stop on the Yosemite Valley Railroad (1907–1945). The townsite was submerged in 1967 when Lake McClure was expanded behind the New Exchequer Dam.
