Benjamin Fischer (born 19 October 1980) is a retired footballer who played as a striker. Born in Switzerland, he represented the Liechtenstein national team.
He began his career with the Swiss club Grasshopper Club Zürich in the youth team.
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.
