Robert Farrand (14 March 1792 – 2 February 1855) was a British politician.

Farrand was an illegitimate son of Christopher Atkinson Saville, a Member of Parliament for Hedon.[1] He lived at Hale Hall in Norfolk.[2]

Saville arranged for Farrand to stand in Hedon at the 1818 UK general election as a Whig. He won the seat, but was defeated at the 1826 UK general election. He regained it in 1830, this time standing as a Tory. Hedon was disenfranchised in 1832, but Farrand returned to politics when he stood in the 1837 Stafford by-election for the Conservative Party, winning the seat. He held it at the 1837 UK general election, but stood down in 1841.[2]

Farrand died in 1855, and is commemorated by a tablet in the church at Holme Hale.[3]
