Abdirahman Mohamed Mohamoud Farole (Somali: Cabdiraxmaan Maxamed Maxamuud Faroole; Arabic: عبدالرحمن محمد محمود فارولي; born 1945) is a Somali politician. He served for many years in the government, acting as a governor of the Nugal region of Somalia in the 1990s and later as the Minister of Finance of the autonomous Puntland region in the northeast. From 8 January 2009 to 8 January 2014, Farole was also the President of Puntland.
