Ken Farrington (born April 18, 1936, Dulwich, London, England) (sometimes credited as Kenneth Farrington) is a British north country character actor who shot to fame playing the role of Billy Walker, wayward son of publican Annie, in ITV1's long running soap opera, Coronation Street. He joined the series in 1971, playing the role on and off until leaving the show in 1984.

Starting 1997 he played the key continuing role of Jack Gates, father of Hart family matriarch Annie Hart, in Family Affairs. His character was killed-off in late 1998 (several weeks prior to the entire Hart family being killed-off) as part of a drastic revamp of that series. In 2004, he returned to the small screen in the role of Tom King in ITV1 soap opera Emmerdale.
