Ryan Farquhar (born Dungannon, Northern Ireland in 1976) is a motorcycle racer who has primarily competed in road racing.

Farquhar returned to McAdoo and Harker for 2008, but parted company in the week preceeding the TT, meaning Ryan is heading to the TT with his sponsor Kenny Harker's Superstock 1000 and Supersport 600 bikes. They previously had much success with together until 2004. On April 28, 2006, after Ryan had signed a new deal to ride with TAS Suzuki for the year disaster struck at Cookstown road races, the first race of the year. He was involved in a collision with a back marker in practice where he suffered injuries which ruled him out of most of the season.

Farquhar was known as one of the best riders to have never won an Isle of Man TT race (espite breaking the lap record in 2003 in the 600 class). That changed in 2004, when he won the Production 600 race on a Kawasaki. He then won the 2005 TT Supersport, giving him two victories on the island.
