Ben Parker (born November 15, 1987 in Pontefract, England) is a young English footballer who is currently playing for Leeds United. He is a defender in the centre back position though can also play at left-back.

Parker spent the 2006-07 season on loan at local rivals Bradford City. On 5 October 2006 Leeds caretaker manager John Carver said that if Ben's appearances were being limited at Bradford then the club would rather he came back to Leeds and fought for a 1st team place there than sitting on the bench at Valley Parade.[1]

Parker's loan spell was extended in late December 2006, indicating new Leeds manager Dennis Wise wants him to gain as much experience as possible before plunging him into the new look Leeds side.

On 18 May 2007, life long Leeds fan, Parker was offered a new contract by Leeds United.[2] This contract was signed on August 7, once the club's transfer embargo had been lifted. Parker made his full debut for Leeds in the 1-0 win against Macclesfield Town in the Carling Cup on 14 August 2007. Four days later, Parker made his league and home debut as a substitute in the 4-1 thrashing of Southend United.
