The farthing coin () was the smallest value coin of the pre-decimal Irish pound at ¹/₉₆₀ of the pound, ¼d. Long before decimalisation the coin had lost much of its value through inflation and during the 1960s no coins were produced for general circulation; those minted in 1966 were produced only for commemoration sets.

The design was by Percy Metcalf, an English artist, and the coin had a diameter of 0.795 inches (20.2 mm) and weight of 2.83405 grams. The coin was introduced in 1928 and ceased to be legal tender on August 1 1969.

Ireland was the only nation, other than Britain, to strike the farthing.

Irish farthings, like all non-current Irish coins, may be redeemed for euros at the Central Bank in Dublin each weekday morning. Due to its slight value (about one six-hundredth of a euro), several must be redeemed to have any return at all.
