Charlie Edward James Farr (born 11 September 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a full back for club Brentford. He is a product of the Aston Villa Academy and began his professional career with the club.

Early years
Beginning his career as a winger, Farr began his career in the Aston Villa Academy and progressed to sign a professional contract in June 2020. He made two EFL Trophy appearances for the U21 team during the 2020–21 season, but was released at the end of the campaign. Farr suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in July 2021 and spent the 2021–22 season in rehabilitation.

Brentford
Following a trial with Barnsley, Farr joined the B team at Premier League club Brentford on trial in August 2022. He was deployed as a full back in three friendly matches. On 1 September 2022, it was announced that Farr had signed a one-year contract, with the option of a further year. Farr was included in the first team squad for its mid-season training camp in Girona. The one-year option on Farr's contract was exercised at the end of the 2022–23 season, with a further one-year option attached.

Farr was included in the first team squad for its opening 2023–24 pre-season friendly versus Boreham Wood, during which he came on as a half-time substitute. By virtue of being overage, Farr was named in Brentford's 25-man squad for the first half of the 2023–24 Premier League season. Farr was released when the club declined to take up the option on his contract at the end of the 2023–24 season.

Personal life
Early in his Brentford spell, Farr roomed with former Aston Villa Academy teammate Aaron Pressley.
