Benjamin Bickley Rogers (Shepton Montagu, Somerset, December 111828-Twickenham, September 221919) was an English classical scholar.

He was educated at Wadham College, Oxford. He was elected a Fellow of the college in 1852 and was called to the bar in 1856. He gave up a successful legal practice, when increasing deafness obliged him to retire.

He then devoted himself exclusively to literature. He translated all the plays of Aristophanes, reproducing the Greek metres in the English version.
