Sherston Software is a British software publisher, producing educational games. Set up by two teachers, Bill and Lou Bonham, in 1983, they started making their first games for the BBC Micro. The company became a limited company in 1991.

In 2003, Bill and Lou sold Sherston to a four-man management team, which lead to the company being called Sherston Publishing Group. Russ Mabon, Jamie Bayliss, Paul Hollin and Andy Frances continue to run the business today.

Sherston currently employs over two-hundred staff worldwide within offices in Wiltshire, India and South Africa.
