Benjamin Pâquet (or Paquet, pronounced March 27, 1832 – February 25, 1900) was a French-Canadian Roman Catholic priest and educator. He was an extremely influential and controversial figure in 19th century Quebec religious politics, making numerous enemies amongst the French-Canadian ultra-montane elite of the period. Three times his name was cited for potential bishopry, but each time his opponents successfully lobbied against his nomination or the decision makers simply settled on a less controversial choice.
