А́льфред Г. Фа́рмен (англ. Alfred H. Farman; родился в апреле 1869 года, Бирмингем, Англия), более известный как Альф Фа́рмен (англ. Alf Farman) — английский футболист, нападающий. Выступал за клубы «Бирмингем Экселсайор», «Астон Вилла» и «Болтон Уондерерс». В сентябре 1889 года перешёл из «Болтона» в клуб «Ньютон Хит» (ныне известен под названием «Манчестер Юнайтед»), который начал своё выступление в только что организованном Футбольном альянсе. Фармен дебютировал за «Ньютон» 9 ноября 1889 года в матче против «Лонг Итон Рейнджерс». Игра завершилась со счётом 3:0 в пользу «язычников», при этом Альф забил один из голов[1]. Нападающий выступал за «Ньютон Хит» до 1895 года, проведя за клуб в общей сложности 121 матч и забив 53 гола.
