Joshua Farris (born January 6, 1995) is an American competitive figure skater. He is the 2015 Four Continents silver medalist, the 2013 World Junior champion, a two-time Junior Grand Prix Final medalist (silver in 2012, bronze in 2011), and the 2010 U.S. national junior silver medalist. He won five Junior Grand Prix titles, as well as U.S. national titles on the juvenile (2006), intermediate (2008) and novice level (2009).
Joshua Farris was born in Renton, Washington. At the age of eight, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, which may be connected with a concussion he sustained as a child. He also has a severe allergy to dairy products and travels with a whole suitcase of food.
Farris was home-schooled. As of 2016, he planned to attend Pikes Peak Community College in Colorado Springs, Colorado. His older brother, David, is a bowler.
Farris began skating at age five after his mother took him skating for his birthday. He moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado in mid-2007 to train with Tom Zakrajsek and Becky Calvin.
Farris won his third national title when he took the novice gold at the 2009 U.S. Championships. He was then sent to the 2009 International Challenge Cup in The Hague, Netherlands where he took silver on the junior level.
