Benjamin Drake Wright (January 23, 1799 – April 28, 1874) was a Florida lawyer, journalist, and Whig politician who served in Territorial Legislature, the State Senate, and as a Florida Supreme Court justice in 1853, succeeding Walker Anderson.

He was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on January 23, 1799, the son of William and Sarah Ann Wright.

His political career encountered difficulties after he accused Judge Henry Marie Brackenridge of malfeasance in November 1827.

The judge retaliated by seeking Wright's replacement through a letter writing campaign and his political connections.

The governor appointed him to the Supreme Court in 1853 to replace Walker Anderson.
