Graham Ronald Farrow is an English playwright and screenwriter from North Yorkshire. He was born in Middlesbrough and educated at Scarborough College. He now lives in Yarm. His first novel, Speak no Evil, was nominated for the 1989 Commonwealth Writer's Prize.

His stageplays Talk about the Passion and Rattlesnakes have been produced globally; they are especially popular in the United States and London, but regularly play in different countries throughout the world and are translated into many different languages. Talk about the Passion and Rattlesnakes are published by Methuen of London.

Talk about the Passion had its Asian premiere in Istanbul in November 2018, directed by Turkish actor/musician Emre Kinay.

Other plays produced include Lake of Fire, Pure Morning, Hair of the Dog and Down Amongst the Dead Men. Farrow's plays typically deal with losers, loners, the down and out and the dispossessed; all searching for redemption or resolution of some sort.
