Ben Abraham is an Australian folk singer and songwriter from Melbourne.

Abraham's parents were both musicians who played together in the Indonesian pop group Pahama. Abraham initially sought to become a screenwriter, and concurrently began songwriting while working in a hospital. In 2014, he self-released a debut album, Sirens, in Australia, which he described as "basically a roadmap of my awkward naïve insecure 20s". In March 2016, the album was picked up for international distribution and reissued by Secretly Canadian. The album includes the track "This Is On Me", which features American vocalist Sara Bareilles, as well as appearances by fellow Australian Gotye. Abraham's voice has been compared to Guy Garvey and Peter Gabriel.
