Jeromy Farkas (born 1985 or 1986) is a Canadian non-profit executive and politician who has served as the mayor of Calgary since 2025. He had a four-year term as City Councillor on Calgary City Council from 2017–2021.

In 2022, he completed a 168-day journey of the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada in support of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Calgary and Area.
