Moris Farhi (b. 1935, Ankara, Turkey) is a British writer and actor who, in 1964, submitted scripts for two Doctor Who stories, Farewell Great Macedon and The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance. Neither story was produced, but both were published in 2009 by Nothing at the End of the Lane in the book also entitled Farewell Great Macedon.

Farhi alternated between writing and acting, appearing in two James Bond films, From Russia with Love and You Only Live Twice. He also wrote the 1962 film The Primitives.

In early 1964, David Whitaker, who was beginning to compile prospective storylines for Doctor Who, invited Farhi to submit some scripts, one of which, Farewell Great Macedon saw the First Doctor meet Alexander the Great. According to Farhi in his introduction to the Farewell Great Macedon book, the script was ultimately rejected as the series began to move towards more science fictional storylines.

Farhi also submitted an unproduced script for another cult favourite, The Prisoner. His script for that series, The Outsider, was published in the mid-2000s.

In November 1977, according to an article in Farewell Great Macedon, Doctor Who producer Graham Williams commissioned Farhi to write a four-episode Fourth Doctor script, The Divided, but it too was never produced.
