F. David Farnell (born 1958) is an American New Testament scholar, Christian minister and professor of New Testament studies at The Master's Seminary in Sun Valley, California. He promotes a conservative approach to New Testament studies. Farnell's works include the book The Jesus Crisis: The Inroads of historical Criticism into Evangelical Scholarship and The Jesus Quest: The Danger from Within. His writings on biblical inerrancy have been endorsed by John F. MacArthur,Albert Mohler, and Paige Patterson. He is also the pastor of Grace Bible Church in Oxnard, California.

He is a contributor and editor for the blog Defending Inerrancy, as well as "Historical" Jesus Search Report, where he writes on his views of the inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible. He is also the host of The Danger Zone on World View Weekend Radio Network.

During the 2014 National Apologetics Conference, Farnell addressed the current state in New Testament scholarship. In his lecture, The Battle for the Bible: Responding to the New Attacks on Scripture, he criticized the New Testament scholars Robert H. Gundry, Michael Bird, Craig Blomberg, as well as the apologist William Lane Craig. He has been criticized by Michael Licona for his conservative views.

Farnell supports the historical-grammatical method in New Testament studies, and specializes in the impact of historical-critical philosophical ideologies in Biblical Criticism and interpretation of the New Testament. He opposes what he regards as a liberal approach to the study of the Bible, and promotes the Protestant doctrine of biblical inerrancy.
