Farmhand is an American comic book created, written, and illustrated by Rob Guillory with letterer Kody Chamberlain and colorist Taylor Wells. It has been published in monthly installments and paperback collections by Image Comics since July 2018.

In the story, a Louisiana farmer named Jedidiah receives a vision and creates a plant which can grow replacement limbs and organs for human beings. The plot begins several years later when his estranged adult son, Ezekiel, returns home to join the family business. Many outside agents, including foreign and domestic government operatives, are after the secret of Jedidiah's seed. Meanwhile, Jedidiah's former partner, Thorne, has been covertly introducing the seed into the wild and is elected mayor.

Farmhand debuted to mostly positive reviews.[1] Critics were divided on the effectiveness of the story's pacing but praised the combination of humor and horror elements. The story is told with a cartoon-like art style and often features visual gags.
