Javier Arturo McFarlane Olazabál (born 21 October 1991) is a Peruvian track and field athlete who competes mainly in the 110 metres hurdles and long jump. He was the hurdles gold medallist at the South American Games in 2014 and the South American Championships in Athletics in 2015. His personal bests are 13.57 seconds for the 110 m hurdles and 7.62 m (25 ft 0 in) for the long jump.
He competed internationally from a young age and won several medals at the South American Under-23 Championships in Athletics. He also has represented his country at the Pan American Games and Summer Universiade. His brother Jorge McFarlane is also a hurdles/long jumper and a South American champion.
Born in Lima, McFarlane followed his older brother, Jorge, into the sport of athletics. While his brother specialised in hurdling and long jump, Javier McFarlane began with combined track and field events and was the winner of the octathlon at the 2008 South American Youth Championships in Athletics, which was held in his native Lima. He also managed a bronze medal in the 110 m hurdles. The sixteen-year-old Peruvian also competed at the higher age category 2008 South American Under-23 Championships in Athletics, also held in Lima that year: he was last in the hurdles (an event his brother won), but helped the Peruvian 4×100 metres relay team to the bronze medals. After 2008 he did not compete in combined events and began to mirror the specialities of his brother.
