Bengt Snivil (also known as Bengt Snivel) from the House of Bjälbo was a Swedish magnate in mid-12th century.
Some more or less romantic later literature has given him the title of jarl, although no proper historical source attests to such. Romantic genealogies assign a lady Sigrid Lakman as his wife, though without historical source.{{citation needed|date=July 2007}}
Arguably, Bengt Snivil was that Bengt or Benedict, who was son of riksjarl Folke the Fat and Ingegerd Knutsdotter of Denmark, daughter of king Canute IV of Denmark.Lindström, p 274
