Benjamin Fischer (born 19 October 1980) is a retired Liechtenstein football striker. He began his career by Swiss club Grasshopper Club Zürich in the youth team and holds a Swiss passport. In February 2011 he retired from professional football following a recurrence of back and thigh injuries.

International career

Benjamin Fischer nearly made history when, in the final qualifier for World Cup 2006 in Germany against Portugal, who needed a point to qualify, he scored a 32nd minute opening goal. However Liechtenstein were unable to keep their lead, with a Pauleta equaliser and an 85th minute Nuno Gomes winner turning the game on its head for a second time.
