Ronald Mark Benton (born 1937) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with West Adelaide in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).
Benton made his debut for West Adelaide in 1955 shortly before his 17th birthday.
He played 184 games for West Adelaide and in 1957 he won the SANFL's highest individual honor, the Magarey Medal, as well as winning West Adelaide's Best & Fairest award.
The Grand Final was played on 30 September and, in what became known as the 'Turkish Bath Grand Final'[1] due to it being played in 35°C heat, West prevailed over the Redlegs 16.13 (109) to 11.7 (73) in front of 40,909 at the Adelaide Oval with the oppressive heat blamed for the lowest Grand Final attendance since West defeated Norwood in 1947.
