Farley is a village in southeast Wiltshire, England, about 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Salisbury.
The civil parish of Pitton and Farley encompasses the villages of Pitton and Farley. The parish elects a parish council. It is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions.
A block of 12 dwellings for poor elderly persons, with accommodation for a warden, was built for Sir Stephen Fox in 1681 by Alexander Fort. (Sir Stephen also founded the Royal Hospital Chelsea, London, which was designed and built by Christopher Wren; Fort was Wren's master mason.) The building, also known as Fox's Hospital, is Grade I listed. It continues to operate as a charity.
The Anglican Church of All Saints was built in 1690 opposite the almshouses, probably by Alexander Fort. It was restored in 1875 by Ewan Christian and is also Grade I listed.
The village has a nursery school and a pub, the Hook and Glove.
Farley Cricket Club was founded around 1866 and plays in the Hampshire Cricket League.
