Benjamin Booker (born June 14, 1989 in Virginia Beach, Virginia) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. Based in New Orleans, he cites The Gun Club, Blind Willie Johnson, and T. Rex as influences. His music was described by the Chicago Tribune as "a raw brand of blues/boogie/soul," and by The Independent as "frenzied guitar-strumming and raw, soulful vocals that are hair-raising in intensity."

Booker's self-titled debut album was recorded in December 2013 at The Bomb Shelter, an analog studio in Nashville. Produced by Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray for the Riff Raff), the album is scheduled to be released on August 19, 2014 via ATO Records in the United States and Rough Trade Records in Europe. The first single from the album, "Violent Shiver," was released in April, 2014; Booker performed the song on Late Night with David Letterman later that month.
