Ben Carr (born 1986) is a Canadian politician who was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in a by-election on June 19, 2023. He is a member of the Liberal Party of Canada. He succeeded his father, Jim Carr, who died in office on December 12, 2022, as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the federal riding of Winnipeg South Centre.
Carr's mother is Ruth (Simkin), a physician. Carr has worked as the vice president of Indigenous Strategy Alliance, a consulting firm; as a high school teacher, coach, and principal; and as a former federal Liberal government staffer. He announced that he would run for Parliament 3 months after his late father Jim Carr died. He announced his plans to run on February 2, 2023.
On May 7, 2024, Carr was elected chair of the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. He was elected chair of the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology in the 45th Canadian Parliament in 2025.
In January 2025, Carr became the first Liberal Manitoba MP to call for Justin Trudeau to resign. In the 2025 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election, he endorsed Chrystia Freeland.
In November 2023, Carr publicly raised concerns that an academic event titled "Palestine and Genocide: Reflections on Imperialism, Settler-colonialism and Decolonization" would provoke antisemitism. However, one of the speakers at the event, professor Judith Norman who herself is Jewish, said it was "offensive" to suggest the event would inflame antisemitism. Carr is also Jewish. In an op-ed published the same month, Carr argued "there is an unbreakable bond between Jews around the world, and the State of Israel". In March 2024, Carr was one of three Liberal MPs who voted against a non-binding motion calling for an arms embargo on Israel.
