Walter Farrar (1865 – 1916[1]) was an Anglican bishop in the first decades of the 20th century.[2]

Farrar was educated at Queen's College, Guyana,[3] and Keble College, Oxford, and ordained in 1888.[4][5] He began his ordained ministry at St Mary's East Coast in what was then British Guiana. Later he was the rector of Hawkchurch[6] and then acting warden of the Jamaica Church Theological College before his ordination to the episcopate as Bishop of Antigua.[7] After some time as the Archdeacon of St Francis, Quebec, he returned to the West Indies as Bishop of British Honduras in 1913.[8] In 1915 he became the vicar of Bognor Regis and died the following year.[9]
