Benjamin Frobisher (1742 – April 14, 1787) was born in England, the son of Joseph Frobisher and Rachel Hargrave and immigrated to Canada about 1763. Two brothers also immigrated to Canada and all three were involved with the fur trade and its expansion into the northwest. At the time of Benjamin's death, the northwest was beginning to be the most important region in the fur trade and a time when the North West Company was on the point of having almost total control of the area's trade. He was one of the seventeen original founding members of the Beaver Club.

| - Benjamin Frobisher (* 1742 vermutlich in Halifax, England; † 24. April 1787 in Montreal, Québec, Kanada) war ein kanadischer Fellhändler. Frobisher wurde als Sohn von Joseph Frobisher und Rachel Hargrave in England geboren und emigrierte etwa 1763 nach Kanada. Zwei seiner Brüder emigrierten mit ihm nach Kanada und alle drei waren am Fellhandel und dessen Expansion in den Nord-Westen beteiligt. 1770 unternahmen die drei Brüder gemeinsam mit Richard Dobie eine erfolgreiche Fellhandels-Expedition, die sie den Saskatchewan River hinauf bis hinter in die Nähe der Quelle des Flusses führte. Weitere ertragreiche Expeditionen folgten und 1779 gründeten die Frobishers ein Unternehmen mit sechzehn Aktien-Anteilen an der North West Company. Zum Zeitpunkt von Benjamin Frobishers Tod begann der Nordwesten Kanadas die wichtigste Region des Fellhandels zu werden und die North West Company kontrollierte den Handel der Region nahezu vollständig. Die kanadische Regierung, vertreten durch den für das Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada zuständigen Minister, ehrte Frobisher am 15. November 1973 für sein Wirken und erklärte ihn zu einer „Person von nationaler historischer Bedeutung“. (de)
- Benjamin Frobisher (1742 – April 14, 1787) was born in England, the son of Joseph Frobisher and Rachel Hargrave and immigrated to Canada about 1763. Two brothers also immigrated to Canada and all three were involved with the fur trade and its expansion into the northwest. In 1770, the three brothers, partnered with Richard Dobie, had a successful fur trading expedition which went up the Saskatchewan River well past Fort Bourbon situated near the mouth of that river. More successful expeditions followed and in 1779 the Frobishers set up a company that owned two of the sixteen shares in the North West Company established that year. They were among the shareholders who got their fur trade goods from the London merchant John Strettell. At the time of Benjamin's death, the northwest was beginning to be the most important region in the fur trade and a time when the North West Company was on the point of having almost total control of the area's trade. He was one of the seventeen original founding members of the Beaver Club. (en)
