CSIR-Forestry Research Institute of Ghana (CSIR-FORIG) is one of the 13 Institutes of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and located at Fumesua, near Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.

It started as a research unit within the Forestry Department in 1962. In 1964, it was fully established as a Research Institute and named Forest Products Research Institute (FPRI) under the then Ghana Academy of Sciences. In 1968, the Institute was

placed under the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. By an Act of Parliament (Act 405) the Institute was transferred from the CSIR to the Forestry Commission in 1980. In 1991, the name of the Institute was changed to Forestry Research Institute of Ghana to reflect the widening scope of its research activities.

In 1993, by another Act of Parliament (Act 453) the Institute was reverted to the CSIR.
