William Henry Farrow (20 June 1805? – 17 November 1876) was a physician born and trained in England. Farrow practiced in Montreal, Quebec and Toronto, Ontario. He is most notable for providing one of the first detailed descriptions of synesthesia. Farrow reported the details of the illness, (in this case temporary) in an article published in the Lower Canada Journal of Medicine.
