Heather Farr (March 10, 1965 – November 20, 1993) was an American professional golfer on the LPGA Tour.
Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Farr was the elder of two daughters of Gerald D. (Jerry) and Sharon Farr. She and her sister Missy were introduced to golf by their father, a former rodeo cowboy and Air Force veteran, and the family spent countless hours together at the public Papago Golf Course in east Phoenix.
Farr won three state high school championships while at the all-girls Xavier College Preparatory, and is a member of the National High School Sports Hall of Fame and the azcentral.com Arizona High School Sports Hall of Fame. At a diminutive 5 ft 1 in (1.55 m), she was nicknamed "Mighty Mouse" during her teenage years.
Farr graduated from high school a year early in 1982 and was a top recruit with many scholarship offers. She chose to stay close and enrolled at Arizona State University in adjacent Tempe, where she played for the Sun Devils women's golf team. At ASU she became a well-known golfer, both in Arizona and nationwide, winning the 1982 U.S. Girls' Junior and 1984 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links.
At the U.S. Women's Open, Farr tied for eleventh and was low amateur as an 18-year-old in 1983 in Oklahoma, then tied for fortieth in Massachusetts in 1984. Farr played on the U.S. teams in the 1984 Curtis Cup and Espirito Santo Trophy. She was an All-American and was inducted into the ASU Sun Devils' Hall of Fame in 1990.
