Benjamin Parmele (d. 1792) was a justice of the peace and Lt. Colonel of the Hyde County Regiment of the North Carolina Militia. He represented the county at the 4th and 5th provincial congresses and in the North Carolina General Assembly in 1777. That same year he received a deposition from James Rawlings about Rawlings' involvement in the Gourd Patch Conspiracy. 

His last name is also spelled variously as Parmely, Parmelin, and Parmelie, among others.
