Benjamin Jacques Marcel Pavard ({{IPA|fr|bɛ̃ʒamɛ̃ ʒak maʁsɛl pavaʁ}}; born 28 March 1996) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defender for Serie A club Inter Milan and the France national team. Although usually deployed as a centre-back, he is also capable of playing as a right-back.

He began his career at Lille in Ligue 1 and transferred to VfB Stuttgart in 2016, where he won the 2. Bundesliga in his first season. In January 2019, he agreed a move to Bayern Munich, which was completed after Stuttgart's relegation at the end of the season. In 2020, he completed a historic sextuple by winning the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, Champions League, DFL-Supercup, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup. In the summer of 2023, Pavard moved to Inter Milan, winning the Serie A title in his first season.

Pavard made his international debut for France in November 2017, and won the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League, also featuring at UEFA Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup. He is also remembered for his volley in the round of 16 against Argentina in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which was voted as the goal of the tournament.

In 2018–19, Pavard was again a regular as Stuttgart fought to avoid relegation all season, with his team ultimately going down after losing to 1.

At UEFA Euro 2020, Pavard suffered a head injury in France's opening 1–0 win over Germany, but continued playing. He said after the game that he felt "a little knocked out for 10 to 15 seconds". This appeared to break UEFA's protocol that a player showing signs of concussion should be withdrawn from the match, whether or not he or the manager agreed with it. After analysing reports by the French team's doctors, UEFA concluded that Pavard never lost consciousness and it was right for him to play on.{{cite news |last1=MacInnes |first1=Paul |title=Uefa 'satisfied' France treated Benjamin Pavard correctly after Gosens collision |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/jun/16/sickening-handling-of-benjamin-pavard-head-blow-criticised-by-brain-injury-charity-headway-euro-2020 |access-date=30 June 2021 |newspaper=The Guardian |date=16 June 2021}}{{cite news |last1=Speight |first1=Janek |title=Euro 2020: UEFA concussion protocol under question after 'sickening' Pavard incident |url=https://www.dw.com/en/euro-2020-uefa-concussion-protocol-under-question-after-sickening-pavard-incident/a-57932198 |access-date=30 June 2021 |publisher=Deutsche Welle |date=17 June 2021}}
