Peter John Farrell (born 10 January 1957) is an English former football player and coach.

He started his career as a midfielder with Bury in 1975 before he made a £40,000 move to Port Vale in 1978. Loaned out to Doncaster Rovers and Shrewsbury Town in 1981, he joined Rochdale in 1982. He transferred to Crewe Alexandra in 1985, before he finished his career at non-League Barrow after a short tour of Europe. During this tour he played for Västra Frölunda (Sweden), Norrby (Sweden), Keflavík (Iceland), Hamilton Academical (Scotland), and APOEL (Cyprus). He later spent ten years as a coach at Bolton Wanderers and two years as a coach at Brentford. He was appointed manager of Warri Wolves (Nigeria) in February 2016 before briefly returning to former club Port Vale as a coach four months later.
