Ben Peter Anthony Tozer (born 1 March 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a central defender for National League club Forest Green Rovers.

On 14 August 2007, Tozer made a surprise full debut for Swindon as a makeshift left-back in the League Cup match with Charlton Athletic.

In November 2007 Tozer started a 4-day trial with Everton, returning in time for Swindon's FA Cup game with Forest Green.

On 22 September 2009, Tozer made his Newcastle debut starting at centre back alongside Steven Taylor against Peterborough United in the Football League Cup.

Tozer went on to make his league debut in a 2–1 home win against Doncaster Rovers, coming on as an 87th-minute substitute for Jonás Gutiérrez.

[10] He was sent off in the game at home to Hereford United for violent conduct, which resulted in the Cobblers delaying renewing his loan until after he served his three-game ban.

[27] With eleven appearances made,[28] Tozer joined League One club Colchester United on an initial one-month loan on 28 November 2013 until 4 January 2014 to provide defensive cover over the Christmas period.

[36] He made his first appearance back from injury, coming on as a substitute for Evan Horwood in the 50th minutes, in a 2–1 loss against Stevenage on 11 April 2015.

[44] A month later on 5 December 2015, he scored his first Yeovil Town goal in the fourth round of the FA Cup, in a 1–0 win over Stevenage, the team he made his debut against.

[49] On 4 July 2016, Tozer rejected Yeovil's offer of a new contract,[50] and signed for fellow League Two side Newport County on a one-year deal.

[52] Tozer made his debut for Newport on 6 August 2016 in the opening game of the season, in a 3–2 loss against Mansfield Town as a second-half substitute.

By the end of the 2016–17 season Mike Flynn had taken over as Newport County manager and Tozer's contract was extended for a further year.

[60] At the end of the 2019–20 season he helped Cheltenham to the League Two play-off semi-finals, only to be defeated 3–2 on aggregate by his former club Northampton Town.

[66] On 3 June 2024, it was announced that Tozer would join newly-relegated to National League side Forest Green Rovers following the expiry of his Wrexham contract.

[67] Known for his exceptionally long throw-ins, Tozer's sideline launches have been termed the "long-throw weapon" of the teams that he's played with;[68][69] he professed to studying Rory Delap's technique.

[70] His throw-in for Wrexham in their 3–0 home win over York City on 25 March 2023, led to the Dragons' second goal from Sam Dalby, scoring off a header thrown in directly from Tozer.
