Ben Cohen (1907 — 1971) was an author, publisher, and distributor of contract bridge books and stationery supplies. He pioneered duplicate bridge in the UK in the early 1930s and contributed to the development of the Acol bidding system in the mid 1930s. With the young Terence Reese in 1938, he was co-author of the first, and for a long time the only, textbook of the Acol System. He also contributed to newspapers and journals in South Africa, India, and Japan as well as the UK.

Cohen and Rhoda Barrow edited the European Bridge Players' Encyclopedia, published 1967 and based on the American Official Encyclopedia of Bridge (1964).
