Benjamin Nicolas Cooper (born 10 February 1992) is a cricketer. He played for the Netherlands in the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 tournament.[1] He is the brother of fellow cricketer Tom Cooper. He currently plays for VRA cricket club in the Netherlands as a player-coach.

He made his first-class debut against Scotland in the 2015–17 ICC Intercontinental Cup on 9 September 2015.[2] He scored his maiden first-class century in his second match, against Hong Kong in February 2017, also in the Intercontinental Cup.[3] In that match, he and Pieter Seelaar set a new Dutch record for the highest partnership for any wicket in a first-class match[4] and the highest sixth-wicket partnership in the Intercontinental Cup, when they made 288 runs.[3]

In December 2017, in the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship, Cooper scored his first century in List A cricket and made the highest partnership for any wicket in the World Cricket League, with 236 runs, batting with Wesley Barresi.[5][6]
