Faithorn is a small, unincorporated community located in Menominee County, in the state of Michigan. It's found along County Road 577, about 1 mile (1.6 km) east of the border with Wisconsin. Being an "unincorporated community" means it's a recognized place, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or a village.

The community was named after a man named John Nicholson Faithorn (1852–1914). He was an important person in the railroad business in Chicago.
