Benjamin Griffin (born 1977) is a former British SAS soldier and Iraq War veteran who was allowed to quit the army while on leave but was later gagged for disclosing information about cases of cruelty during the war. He especially criticised the role of the United States.

Griffin is now an anti-war campaigner and Co-ordinator for the UK branch of Veterans for Peace.
In December 2015 Griffin, along with other members of Veterans for Peace, discarded his medals outside Downing Street in protest against the UK's involvement in the Syrian Civil War.
