Benjamin Pratt (17 April 1669 – 22 June 1721) was an Anglo-Irish academic who served as the 18th Provost of Trinity College Dublin from 1710 to 1717.

[1] Pratt was born in 1669 in Garradice, near Summerhill, County Meath.

In 1692, he graduated from Trinity College; the following year, he was elected a Fellow.

In 1710, Provost Peter Browne, after having been invited by Queen Anne, successfully recommended Pratt as Provost.

Pratt was forced to resign his post as Provost in 1717, due to the threat of an inquiry into his alleged Jacobite sympathies.
