Ben William Harmison (born 9 January 1986) is an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Durham and Kent. The former England Under-19 left-handed batsman scored a century on his first-class debut in 2006 while playing for Durham against Oxford UCCE.[1] He finished the season with 563 runs at an average of 37.53 with 2 hundreds, though both hundreds came in games outside the County Championship. He hit his maiden Championship century, 101 against Warwickshire in 2007.[2]

He came on as a fielding replacement for his elder brother Steve Harmison, during the third test match against the West Indies in 2007.

On 19 December 2011, Harmison signed for Kent after being released by Durham in September.[3] He played for Kent until the end of the 2015 season before leaving the county in February 2016 after four seasons.[4]
