Walter Henry Farquharson (born 30 May 1936) is a Canadian clergyman who was Moderator of the United Church of Canada from 1990–1992.
After his ordination in 1960 he did a year of post-graduate study in Edinburgh, where he was also assistant minister at Morningside Parish Church.
Returning to Canada he became the minister of the United Church in Saltcoats, Saskatchewan, where he remained until his retirement, and also, believing that ministry involves the whole of life, an English teacher in the local high school.
He is a noted hymn-writer; three of his hymns were published in The Hymn Book (Anglican and United Churches of Canada, 1971); one of his best-known, "Men go to God when they are sorely placed", a translation of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Menschen gehen zu Gott in ihrer Not, also appeared in The Australian Hymn Book (Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian, Congregational and Roman Catholic).
The Farquharson/Klusmeier collaboration "Walls That Divide" is sung at worship in churches throughout the world.
