Wagholi is a town in the Pune district of Maharashtra, India. It is situated on the outskirts of Pune city.

The name Wagholi is derived from the temple of Wagheshwar which is located at the entrance to this mining complex 20 km north of Pune.
"Wagh" in the local Marathi language means "tiger".

There are a dozen quarries here, out of which 3-4 produce good cavansite and pentagonite specimens.
