Farnham is a suburb in the north of the the town of Blenheim, in the Marlborough region of the South Island of New Zealand. Pollard Park, a large public park, along with the Waterlea Racecourse horse racing facility lay on the suburb's eastern boundary. The northern boundary is Old Renwick Road itself, and the boundaries to the west and south are disputed but often said to be Colemans Road and Murphy's Creek.

The name Farnham comes from the name of the farm that once encompassed the area before residential development in the mid 20th century. The farm itself having been traditionally named after the family tending it. The old Farnham homestead survives today as a large family home, having been extensively renovated in the 1990s. Accessible from Old Renwick Road between Mowat and Maclaughlan streets, the large 2 storey homestead is visible from the back yards of many of the smaller surrounding homes.
