- Benjamin Gwinn Harris (December 13, 1805 – April 4, 1895) was a U.S. Representative from Maryland. Born near Leonardtown, St. Mary's County, Maryland, Harris attended Yale College in the late 1820s, and Harvard Law School from 1829 to 1830. He served as member of the Maryland House of Delegates in 1833 and 1836, and was admitted to the bar in 1840. Harris was removed from Yale after taking part in a student protest against the poor quality of the food in the campus housing. While serving in the Maryland State House of Delegates, he opposed the Know-Nothing Party and championed religious freedom. But as the Civil War loomed he also sought to enforce slavery, including the re-enslavement of Maryland's freedmen. Harris was elected as a Democrat to the Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth Congresses (March 4, 1863 – March 3, 1867). During the Civil War, he voted against every war appropriations measure brought to the House of Representatives. His vote on the Thirteenth Amendment to abolish slavery is recorded as nay. In his defense of Congressman Alexander Long, Harris openly prayed for a southern victory on the floor of the House. He was therefore censured by the House of Representatives on April 9, 1864, for treasonable utterances. In addition, he was tried by a military court in Washington, D.C. in May 1865 for harboring two paroled Confederate soldiers, and sentenced to three years imprisonment and forever disqualified from holding any office under the United States Government. U.S. President Andrew Johnson (R) subsequently remitted the sentence. He died on his estate, "Ellenborough," near Leonardtown, Maryland, April 4, 1895, where he was interred in the family burying ground on his estate. (en)

W latach 1863–1867 przez dwie kadencje Kongresu Stanów Zjednoczonych był przedstawicielem piątego okręgu wyborczego w stanie Maryland w Izbie Reprezentantów Stanów Zjednoczonych. W maju 1865 roku sąd wojskowy w Waszyngtonie skazał go na trzy lata więzienia i dożywotni zakaz sprawowania funkcji rządowych za udzielanie schronienia dwóm żołnierzom Skonfederowanych Stanów Ameryki. Wyrok został jednak później umorzony decyzją prezydenta Andrew Johnsona. (pl)
