Benjamin Franklin Funk (October 17, 1838 – February 14, 1909) was a U.S. Representative from Illinois, father of Frank Hamilton Funk.

He left school in 1862 to enlist in the Sixty-eighth Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry, as a private, and served five months during the Civil War.

He also served as president of the board of trustees at Wesleyan University for twenty years, served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1888 and was a trustee of the asylum for the blind in Jacksonville.

His candidacy for renomination in 1894 failed, so he returned to agriculture.
