Benjamin Peirce (Salem (Massachusetts), 4 de abril de 1809 — Cambridge (Massachusetts), 6 de outubro de 1880) foi um matemático estadunidense.

Foi professor da Universidade Harvard por quase 50 anos. Contribuiu com a mecânica celeste, estatística, teoria dos números, álgebra e filosofia da matemática.

Filho de Benjamin Peirce (1778–1881), que trabalhou na biblioteca de Harvard, e Lydia Ropes Nichols Peirce (1781–1868).^[1]

Após graduar-se em Harvard, lá permaneceu como tutor (1829), sendo indicado professor de matemática em 1831. A astronomia entrou em sua lista de interesses em 1842, e ele permaneceu como professor em Harvard até morrer. Foi diretor do National Geodetic Survey, de 1867 a 1874.
