Benjamin Mendy (born 17 July 1994) is a French professional footballer who plays as a left-back for French Ligue 1 side Lorient. He also represented the France national team from 2017 until 2019.

After coming through Le Havre's youth academy, Mendy began his playing career with the club's reserve team in 2010, being promoted to the first team a year later. He remained with the club until 2013, when he joined Ligue 1 club Marseille. Mendy spent the next three seasons with Les Olympiens before leaving for Monaco, with whom he won the national championship in 2016–17. In the summer of 2017, Mendy moved to English club Manchester City on a then world-record transfer fee for a defender. He subsequently won the Premier League in his first season in England. In 2021, Mendy was arrested on allegations of rape and was suspended by City before being remanded in custody awaiting trial. In June 2023, nearly two years since his final City appearance he was released following the end of his five year-contract, the following month he was acquitted of all charges after being found not guilty.

Mendy made his senior debut for France in 2017 after previously being capped by France youth teams at under-16, under-17, under-18, under-19 and under-21 levels. He was chosen in France's squad for the 2018 World Cup, which they won.
