Kenneth William George Farmer (25 July 1910 – 5 March 1982) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the North Adelaide Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).

Dubbed the 'Bradman of football' in South Australia (contemporary East Fremantle footballer George Doig was given the same nickname in Western Australia), Farmer is the most prolific full-forward in elite Australian rules football. He is the only SANFL player to have scored 1,000 or more career goals in premiership matches, and also coached North Adelaide to two premierships.
