Pinchas ("Pini") Ben-Porat (Hebrew: פנחס בן פורת; October 10, 1914 - July 27, 1955) was one of Israel's first aviators.

He was involved in the Palavir, Sherut Avir, the IAF's 101 Squadron, and EL AL. Pinchas Ben-Porat was born in Krevoe Ozero, a small shtetl (Jewish village) in Ukraine.

After acquiring 150 hours of flying time, he became the commander for Palmach's air platoon, the Palavir, in January 1944.

On December 17, 1947, Ben-Porat was assigned a support role to Nevatim, a Jewish settlement in the Negev desert.

Upon arriving, he removed the right door of the plane and set up a Bren gun and gunner with several hand grenades.
