James Farmer (1823–1895) was a 19th-century Member of Parliament in the Waikato region, New Zealand.
He represented the Marsden electorate from 1859 to 1860 (when he was defeated for Onehunga), and then the Raglan electorate from 1867 to 1870, when he retired.
[2] Having made his fortune from mining "speculation" at Thames he retired to live as a gentleman in London.
On their 1875–76 visit to Britain, James Hector was delighted that Mrs Farmer takes all care of Mrs Hector off my hands which leaves me quite free (to visit fellow scientists).
