The Farm is the recording studio of the English progressive rock band Genesis. The studio is located in Chiddingfold, Surrey, England. Genesis, Mike and The Mechanics, Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Gary Brooker, The Cure, and Dale Newman have all recorded there. Genesis has recorded every album since Abacab in this studio.

The Farm was initially formed by a cowshed located beside a cottage, hence the full name "Fisher Lane Farm". It had been remodeled into a studio in 1980, shortly before Genesis recorded their album Abacab. In 1985, a new control room was added to the building, leaving the original control room to be an editing room. The cottage was sold in 2000, and Genesis retained the Studio building.
