Benjamin Ashkenazi (1824–1894) was a Polish Jewish communal worker and philanthropist in 19th-century Russian Empire.
[1] Benjamin Ashkenazi settled at Grodno, where he became the leading spirit in communal affairs.
The government, in recognition of his services, bestowed upon him and his children hereditary honorary citizenship.
In 1882, Ashkenazi was sent as delegate to the rabbinical convention at St. Petersburg; and in 1883, he was one of the few Jewish representatives who attended officially the coronation of Alexander III at Moscow.
