Ben Fixter (born 23 June 1981) is an Australian rules football player who played with the Sydney and Brisbane Football Clubs in the Australian Football League (AFL). Ben currently plays with the Coolamon Football Club in the Riverina Football League, a semi-professional football league based in the Riverina region of New South Wales.
Ben was recruited by the Sydney Swans as the number 6 draft pick in the 1999 AFL Draft from the NSW/ACT Rams. He made his debut for the Swans in Round 18, 2000 against Melbourne. His career at Sydney was plagued by constant injury, limiting him to 27 games over four seasons. After being delisted by the Swans at the end of the 2005 season, Fixter was recruited by the Brisbane Lions as the number 6 draft pick in the 2006 Pre-season Draft. He made his debut for the Lions in Round 1, 2006 against Geelong. On 22 September 2007, Ben was delisted by the Lions.
After Ben was delisted by the Lions, AFLQ club Labrador Tigers appointed Fixter as Club Development Manager and player, where he would stay for the 2008 and 2009 seasons. After the 2009 season, Ben would return to New South Wales to play for Ovens and Murray Football League club Albury in 2010 before leaving the district to play for Riverina Football League club Coolamon in 2011.
