- Benjamin Charles Humphreys (born 17 August 1934), Australian politician, is a former Australian Labor Party member of the Australian House of Representatives representing the Division of Griffith, Queensland from 1977 to 1996. Humphreys served a six year term as Minister for Veterans' Affairs in the ministries of Bob Hawke and Paul Keating. In December 1991, that ministry was promoted to Cabinet, and the next year Humphreys also took over the duties of Minister assisting the Prime Minister for Northern Australia from Senator Bob Collins. After 18 years in parliament, Humphreys intended to leave politics in 1995, but delayed his retirement until 29 January 1996 when the man he considered his ideal successor was ready to stand for preselection for Griffith – Kevin Rudd, later to become leader of the ALP and Prime Minister of Australia, lost the election to Liberal candidate Graeme McDougall but later won the seat in 1998. Humphreys was known for his close contact with Australia's South Pacific neighbours, and in August 2001 he was part of a Commonwealth Observer Group sent to oversee the 2001 election in Fiji.
