Ben Parker (born November 15, 1987) is a young English footballer who is currently on a six month long loan from Leeds United at Bradford City. He is a defender in the centre back position though can also play at left-back.

Parker has yet to make his competitive debut for the Leeds United first team, however played in the majority of their 2006-07 pre-season fixtures.

On 5th October 2006 Leeds caretaker manager John Carver said that if Ben's appearances were being limited at Bradford then the club would rather he came back to Leeds and fought for a 1st team place there than sitting on the bench at Valley Parade[1].
