Farish Carter Tate (November 20, 1856 – February 7, 1922) was an American attorney and politician who served as a member of the United States House of Representatives for Georgia's 9th Congressional District from 1893 to 1905.

He studied law, gained admittance to the state bar in 1880 and became a practicing attorney in Jasper.

In 1882, Tate was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives, and he served in that body until 1897.

After being appointed as a United States attorney in the Northern District of Georgia by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905, Tate was reappointed to that position by President Howard Taft and served in that post until 1913.

Tate married Julia Lester Bell in 1881 and fathered four children (Howard, Farish III, Virginia, and Julia) with her from 1884 to 1893, though Farish III died in infancy.
