John Stewart Farquhar (8 April 1904 — 7 March 1984) was a Scottish first-class cricketer.

Farquhar was born in April 1904 at Cargill, Perthshire. He was educated at the Perth Academy.[1] A club cricketer who played for both Perthshire and Forfarshire Cricket Club's, Farquhar made his debut for Scotland in first-class cricket against Ireland at Aberdeen in 1930. He played first-class cricket for Scotland until 1939, making six appearances; five of these came in the annual match against Ireland, with one coming against the touring Australians in 1934.[2] Playing as a right-arm fast-medium bowler in the Scottish side, Farquhar took 22 wickets at an average of 19.18, with best figures of 4 for 13.[3] Outside of cricket, Farquhar was a haulage contractor who was declared bankrupt in July 1935.[4] He later died at Dundee in March 1984.
