Cape Farrar (French: Cap d'Farrar) is a cape located along the Boothia Peninsula of the Kitikmeot Region near Taloyoak in the Canadian province of Nunavut, approximately 2,900 km (1,800 mi) northwest of Ottawa.

[2][3] James Ross Strait and the St. Roch Basin separate the cape and Boothia Peninsula from King William Island to the west.

Farrar was born at 37 Gresford Avenue, Liverpool, England in 1901, and was a cadet in the Royal Navy when he emigrated to Canada in 1929 and joined the RCMP in that same year.

[4] He was among the first to circumnavigate the North American continent, having gone through the Northwest Passage with Inspector Henry Larsen, serving as skipper.

[5] Farrar authored a book entailing his journeys entitled Arctic Assignment: The Story of the St. Roch which was published shortly after his death in 1955.
