Hubert Henry Farnham (1868-1953) was a minister of Evangelical Church in Portland, Oregon. He was born in Waterbury, Vermont, lived for a time in Nebraska, and later settled in central California, where he entered the ministry of the Free Methodist Church. In 1907, he severed his connection with the Free Methodists, and about the same time moved to Oregon, where he preached in the Evangelical Church at Dallas and Rickreall. He then moved to Portland, where he served a series of congregations. He was secretary of the Oregon Conference of the Evangelical Church in the 1920s.
