Ferrer may refer to:
Ferrer is a surname of English and Catalan origin, considered to be originally English. Ferrer is an occupational surname for a blacksmith or ironworker - derived from the Latin ferrarius - and thus shares a common occupational derivation with the most common English surname, Smith. It is one of the most common Catalan surnames, ranked 36th in Catalonia. The surname Ferrer is a variant of the surnames Farrar, Ferrier, Ferrers, and de Ferrers.
The English name is originally Norman,, deriving, in this instance, from the place name Ferrières-Saint-Hilaire, Walchelin de Ferriers having come to England with William the Conqueror. In the Middle Ages, the Ferrer family held the earldom of Derby; although the main line died out, some descendants in England and Scotland still bear the name Ferrer, while many emigrated to i.a. Spain - e.g. the Scottish-English nobleman William Stewart Ferrer, father of Saint Vincent Ferrer. Also Bernard Ferrer, an English Knight, and Auchias Ferrer, a Scottish Lord, came from Britain to Spain - to aid in the restoration of Christian rule in Valencia.
