Benedict Arnold (* 14. Januar 1741 in Norwich, Colony of Connecticut; † 14. Juni 1801 in London, England) war ein Soldat, der im Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg zunächst als General in der Kontinentalarmee (Continental Army) der rebellierenden 13 Kolonien der nordamerikanischen Ostküste kämpfte. Er lief später zu den Briten über und gilt darum in den Vereinigten Staaten als Urbild eines Verräters.
