Maurice Alain Farman (21 March 1877 – 25 February 1964) was a British-French Grand Prix motor racing champion, an aviator, and an aircraft manufacturer and designer.
Born in Paris to English parents, he and his brothers Richard and Henry Farman were important pioneers of aviation in Europe.
A champion tandem cyclist with brother Henry, Maurice Farman began racing Panhard automobiles and won the 1901 Pau Grand Prix, the first race ever to be called a Grand Prix.
However, Farman's interest quickly turned to powered flight and in 1908 he bought a Voisin Model 4 biplane.
He soon began to manufacture airplanes and in 1912 merged his business with his brother's aircraft company to give the Farman Aviation Works.
