Owen Farrell is a rugby union player (born 21 September 1991) currently playing for Guinness Premiership side Saracens. He is Andy Farrell's son.

His primary position is centre, but he often plays flyhalf/centre. He held the record of youngest ever player to appear in English professional rugby union after playing for Saracens 11 days after his 17th birthday, in a 26–17 home defeat against Llanelli Scarlets in the EDF Energy Cup on 5 October 2008,^[2] until this record was broken in November 2009 by Leicester's George Ford, the son of another former Rugby League international (Mike Ford).

In the 2010–11 season, Farrell signed for Bedford Blues on loan. However, he returned to Saracens and was pivotal in the 2010-11 Aviva Premiership Final kicking five penalties and converting James Short's try for a personal haul of 17 points in the 22-18 victory over reigning champions Leicester Tigers.
