Benjamin Gardner (24 October 1896 – 6 April 1956) was a British trade unionist.Born in Salford, Gardner worked making scientific instruments and became active in the Scientific Instrument Makers' Trade Society. He served with the Royal Flying Corps during World War I, then worked at Vickers, where he became shop steward for the Amalgamated Engineering Union (AEU), and was also active on the Manchester and Salford Trades Council.
