Owen Andrew O'Loughlin Farrell (born 24 September 1991) is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a fly-half for Top 14 club Racing 92 and England. Although fly-half is his preferred position, he frequently plays inside centre at test level. He spent the majority of his club career with Premiership side Saracens. He is known for his goal kicking prowess.

Since 2012, Farrell has represented England internationally. With scoring over 1,200 points throughout over 100 tests, Farrell is one of the highest point scorers in test history, and he holds the record with both England and Saracens for highest points scored as a player.

His father, Ireland's current head coach Andy Farrell, played both rugby union and rugby league for England, and was captain for England rugby league and his club Wigan Warriors.
