Benjamin Lundy (January 4, 1789 – August 22, 1839) is an American Quaker abolitionist from New Jersey who establishes several anti-slavery newspapers and works for many others.

He travels widely seeking to limit the expansion of slavery, and in seeking to establish a colony to which freed slaves might be located, outside of the United States.
