Benjamin Haigh "Benny" Green (February 23, 1883 in Penistone, Yorkshire – 1945 in Yorkshire) was an English professional footballer who played as an inside-forward. He made nearly 200 appearances for Small Heath (renamed Birmingham in 1905) in all competitions. He scored the first goal at Birmingham's new ground, St Andrew's, on December 29, 1906, three days after the official opening, for which he was rewarded with a piano.
