Hec Farrell was an Australian professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1950s.
In 1952, Farrell was a member of the Western Suburbs side which claimed their fourth premiership defeating South Sydney 22–10 in the grand final.
The match was remembered due to its controversy with claims the referee George Bishop had put a big wager on Wests winning the game.
Souths claimed that they were denied two fair tries and Wests had scored one try off a blatant knock on.
This would prove to be the last premiership Western Suburbs would win as a stand-alone entity before exiting the competition in 1999.
