Benjamin Chew (November 19, 1722 – January 20, 1810) was a Quaker-born legal scholar, prominent and successful Philadelphia lawyer, head of the Pennsylvania Judiciary System under both Colony and Commonwealth, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Province of Pennsylvania. Chew was well known for his precision and brevity in making legal arguments as well as his excellent memory, judgment, and knowledge of statutory law. His primary allegiance was to the supremacy of law and constitution. Due to his position on the Governor’s Council, as well as his ongoing legal representation of descendants of William Penn, Chew was often at odds with Benjamin Franklin. The Benjamin Chew was a Liberty ship built in 1942 by the Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards in Baltimore, Maryland. Benjamin Chew's portrait honoring his role as Chief Justice has been hanging in the Pennsylvania State Capitol building since its dedication in 1906.
