Benjamin Hanbury (1778–1864) was an English nonconformist historian.
Hanbury was born in Wolverhampton on 13 May 1778. Most of his education was received from his uncle, the Rev. Dr. John Humphrys, pastor of Union Street congregation, Southwark, who later became principal of Mill Hill School. For a time he was engaged in a retail business; then in June 1803, through the influence of Ebenezer Maitland, he obtained a post in the Bank of England, and remained there till 1859.
