'''Robert Farrand''' (14 March 1792 – 2 February 1855) was a British politician.

Farrand was an illegitimate son of Christopher Atkinson Saville, a Member of Parliament for Hedon.<ref>{{cite web |title=Hedon |url=https://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1790-1820/constituencies/hedon |website=History of Parliament |access-date=13 December 2023}}</ref> He lived at Hale Hall in Norfolk.<ref name="stenton">{{cite book |last1=Stenton |first1=Michael |title=Who's Who of British Members of Parliament |volume=1 |date=1976 |publisher=Harvester Press |location=Hassocks |isbn=0855272198 |page=134}}</ref>

Saville arranged for Farrand to stand in Hedon at the 1818 UK general election as a Whig. He won the seat, but was defeated at the 1826 UK general election. He regained it in 1830, this time standing as a Tory. Hedon was disenfranchised in 1832, but Farrand returned to politics when he stood in the 1837 Stafford by-election for the Conservative Party, winning the seat. He held it at the 1837 UK general election, but stood down in 1841.<ref name="stenton" />

Farrand died in 1855, and is commemorated by a tablet in the church at Holme Hale.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Farrer |first1=Edmund |title=The Church Heraldry of Norfolk |date=1887 |publisher=A. H. Goose}}</ref>
