Mike Disfarmer (born Mike Meyer, 1884–1959) was a photographer known for his portraits of everyday people in rural Arkansas taken in the 1920s-1950s. His collection of stark photographs were rediscovered in the 1970s.

Disfarmer charged 50¢ for three postcard sized photographs. The subjects face the camera and rarely smile usually posing without props against a plain backdrop. Many are residents of Heber Springs.

Considered an eccentric, Disfarmer never married, and lived alone in the photography studio until his death.
