'''Far Manager''' (short for '''''F'''ile and '''AR'''chive '''Manager''''') is an [[File manager#Orthodox file managers|orthodox file manager]] for [[Microsoft Windows]] and is a [[clone (computing)|clone]] of [[Norton Commander]]. Far Manager uses the [[Win32 console]] and has a keyboard-oriented user interface (although limited mouse operation, including [[drag-and-drop]], is possible).

Far Manager was created by [[Eugene Roshal]], and has been under development by the ''Far Group'' since 2000. The project's [[Unicode]] branches (2.0 and 3.0) are [[open-source software|open-source]] (under the [[BSD licenses|BSD-3-Clause]] license). All branches are available as 32- and 64-bit builds. Far Manager is often viewed as a very customizable file manager and text editor, and a free alternative to [[Total Commander]].<ref>{{cite journal|last=Антонов|first=Игорь|script-title=ru:Как сказать варезу "Нет!"|journal=XAKEP|date=July 2008|issue=115|pages=22–23|url=http://www.xakep.ru/magazine/xa/115/022/1.asp|access-date=13 September 2010|trans-title=How to say "no" to warez|language=ru|archive-date=13 November 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101113050512/http://www.xakep.ru/magazine/xa/115/022/1.asp|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|script-title=ru:Ручной кодинг с удобствами.
