Benjamin Longuet (1685 – 21 February 1761)[1][2] was an English banker who served as Governor of the Bank of England from 1747 to 1749, and who was a director of the bank from 1734 until his death. He had been Deputy Governor from 1745 to 1747. He replaced Charles Savage as Governor and was succeeded by William Hunt.[3]
Longuet, one of several Bank of England governors of French Huguenot descent, was the son of John (or Samuel) Longuet, and was likely a grandson of Jean Longuet of Bayeux.[4] His family were successful merchants in London. He died unmarried.[5]
