One lightweight trick is to make a redirect in your urls.py file, e.g. add a view like so:

from django.views.generic.base import RedirectView

favicon_view = RedirectView.as_view(url='/static/favicon.ico', permanent=True)

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    re_path(r'^favicon\.ico$', favicon_view),
    ...
]

This works well as an easy trick for getting favicons working when you don't really have other static content to host.

Universal solution  You can get the favicon showing up in Django the same way you can do in any other framework  just use pure HTML   Add the following code to the header of your HTML template  Better  to your base HTML template if the favicon is the same across your application    lt link rel  shortcut icon  href     static  favicon favicon png       gt    The previous code assumes    You have a folder named  favicon  in your static folder The favicon file has the name  favicon png  You have properly set the setting variable STATIC URL   You can find useful information about file format support and how to use favicons in this article of Wikipedia https   en wikipedia org wiki Favicon  I can recommend use  png for universal browser compatibility    EDIT  As posted in one comment   Don t forget to add    load staticfiles    in top of your template file

Best practices     Contrary to what you may think  the favicon can be of any size and of any image type  Follow this link for details   Not putting a link to your favicon can slow down the page load   In a django project  suppose the path to your favicon is     myapp static icons favicon png   in your django templates  preferably in the base template   add this line to head of the page     lt link rel  shortcut icon  href      static  icons favicon png      gt    Note     We suppose  the static settings are well configured in settings py

The best solution is to override the Django base html template  Make another base html template under admin directory  Make an admin directory first if it does not exist  app admin base html   Add    block extrahead    to the overriding template       extends  admin base html        load staticfiles       block javascripts           block super     lt script type  text javascript  src     static  app js action js      gt  lt  script gt      endblock        block extrahead         lt link rel  shortcut icon  href     static  app img favicon ico         gt     endblock       block stylesheets            block super       endblock
