Benjamin Fischer (born 19 October 1980) is a retired football striker from Liechtenstein.He began his career with the Swiss club Grasshopper Club Zürich in the youth team and holds a Swiss passport.
In February 2011, he retired from professional football following a recurrence of back and thigh injuries.
Fischer nearly made history when, in the final qualifier for World Cup 2006 in Germany against Portugal, who needed a point to qualify, he scored a 32nd minute opening goal. However, Liechtenstein were unable to keep their lead, with a Pauleta equaliser and an 85th minute Nuno Gomes winning goal turning the game on its head for a second time.
