Frantz Benjamin is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the National Assembly of Quebec in the 2018 provincial election.[2] He represents the electoral district of Viau as a member of the Quebec Liberal Party.

Benjamin formerly served as a member of Montreal City Council and the chairman of the city council, representing the district of Saint-Michel in the borough of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension.[3] Formerly associated with the Union Montreal political party, he resigned on October 30, 2012 in protest against the allegations of corruption surrounding mayor Gérald Tremblay at the Charbonneau commission hearings.[3] He sat as an independent councillor until June 2013, when he reaffiliated with the new Équipe Denis Coderre.[4]
