Ben Fouhy (born 4 March 1979, in Taumarunui) is a New Zealand flatwater and marathon canoeist who has been competing since the early 2000s.

He is the recipient of the 2003 Halberg Award for NZ Sportsman of the Year and is a former world record holder in the K1 1000m event.

He discovered an aptitude for paddling after increasing his kayak training to improve his overall multisport performance.

After a handful of domestic wins Fouhy, an unknown on the international field at the time, took a surprise gold medal at the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in Gainesville, Georgia, USA.

Following this achievement, he won several Sportsperson of the Year titles, including the coveted Halberg Award.
