The Fell Arboretum is an arboretum located across the campus of Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois.

Early plans for the arboretum began in 1858 when Jesse W. Fell, founder of Illinois State University, contacted landscape designer William Saunders (botanist).

Saunders planned a layout for what would eventually become The Quad for the university's campus.

[1] In 1867, Jesse Fell obtained $3,000 from the state legislature for campus landscaping.

In 1995 the campus was formally registered as an arboretum and named in Fell's honor.
