Oved Ben-Ami (July 23, 1905 – October 17, 1988; Hebrew: עובד בן עמי) was an Israeli politician and businessman.

Two years later, he entered the board of Doar HaYom and at that time changed his name from Dankner to Ben-Ami.

Ben-Ami was a member of the Bnei Binyamin Association, an organization active in Jewish settlement in Palestine.

Together with Itamar Ben-Avi, Ben-Ami traveled abroad to collect donations to fund Jewish settlement.

They went to the United States in 1928 to raise funds for the project of building Netanya and purchased the land on which the city was founded by Bnei Binyamin.

He was also one of the founders of the Hanotea company, which was established to raise money and acquire land for Jewish settlement.

During World War II, Ben-Ami traveled to London and persuaded De Beers to ship rough diamonds to Palestine.
