Ben Walter Hooper (October 13, 1870 – April 18, 1957), was an American politician who served two terms as the 31st governor of Tennessee from 1911 to 1915. Elected as a Fusionist candidate, he was one of just three Republicans to hold the office from the end of Reconstruction to the last quarter of the 20th century. His success was due to divisions in the state Democratic Party over prohibition; he received support from some of the party. During his two terms, Hooper signed several prohibition laws, enacted a measure requiring mandatory school attendance, and signed a law requiring direct pay for women workers.

Hooper served as a member of the U.S. Railroad Labor Board (RLB) during the administration of President Warren G. Harding in the early 1920s. As chairman of the RLB, he was a central figure in the 1922 Railroad Shopmen's Strike. He later worked as chief land purchasing agent for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Efter kriget gifte han sig med Anna Belle Jones. Paret fick sex barn. Hooper besegrade Alfred A. Taylor i republikanernas primärval inför 1910 års guvernörsval i Tennessee. I själva guvernörsvalet besegrade han Taylors yngre bror, demokraten Robert Love Taylor. Hooper förespråkade alkoholförbud och hade republikanerna i Tennessee bakom sig i frågan, medan demokraterna var djupt splittrade. Han omvaldes 1912 men förlorade 1914 års guvernörsval mot Thomas Clarke Rye. Demokraten Rye var också en förespråkare av alkoholförbud och lyckades neutralisera frågan i valet. Hooper kandiderade både 1916 och 1934 till USA:s senat men förlorade båda gångerna mot demokraten Kenneth McKellar. Hoopers grav finns på Union Cemetery i Newport, Tennessee.
