Farkas Gyula, or Julius Farkas (March 28, 1847 – December 27, 1930) was a Hungarian mathematician and physicist.
He attended the gymnasium at Győr (Raab), and studied law and physics at Pest. After teaching in a secondary school at Székesfehérvár (Stuhlweissenburg), Farkas became in succession principal of the normal school at Pápa, privat-docent (1881) of mathematics at the University of Budapest, and professor of physics (1888) at Franz Joseph University of Kolozsvár (Cluj-Napoca, Klausenburg).
