Benjamin Davidovich ({{langx|he|בנימין דוידוביץ}}; February 18, 1930 – June 25, 2024) was an Israeli goalkeeper who played for Maccabi Haifa. A Holocaust survivor, Davidovich arrived to Mandatory Israel and settled in Rishon leZion in 1945. His son, Nir, is often seen as a spit and image of his father and later progressed to become one of Maccabi Haifa's most iconic figures.
