Ninian Home (1732 – March or April 1795) was a British colonial administrator and planter who served as the governor of Grenada during Fédon's rebellion, a revolt against British rule led primarily by free mixed-race French-speakers that took place between 2 March 1795, and 19 June 1796. Home was captured and held hostage during the rebellion and was eventually murdered.
