Farringdon Within is one of the 25 wards of the City of London, the historic and financial centre of London, England.

Farringdon Without and Farringdon Within are unconnected to the Farringdon area to the north, outside the City, in the London Borough of Islington. The area is sometimes referred to as Farringdon due to the presence of Farringdon Station, which was named after Farringdon Street and originally named Farringdon Street Station.
