› Bhrigu （（Sanskrit: भृगु, IAST: Bhṛgu） was a rishi in Hinduism.
He was one of the seven great sages, the Saptarshis, one of the many Prajapatis （the facilitators of Creation） created by Brahma.
The first compiler of predictive astrology, and also the author of Bhrigu Samhita, the astrological （Jyotish） classic, Bhrigu is considered a Manasa Putra （"mind-born-son"） of Brahma.
The adjectival form of the name, Bhargava, is used to refer to the descendants and the school of Bhrigu.
