Farmer Wants a Wife is a reality television series developed by Fremantle Media.

The basic structure of the programme is that a number of farmers are presented with women from the city, from whom they choose one to be their spouse.

In September 2009, Farmer Wants a Wife returned to British television for a series on Channel 5, presented by singer and television personality Louise Redknapp.
