Benet of St Albans was a medieval English monk and biographer of Thomas Becket.

Benet was a monk at the Benedictine monastery of St Albans Abbey during the abbacy of Simon (1167-1183). About 1184, Benet composed a hagiography of Becket in French verse, basing it partly on the now-lost work of Robert of Cricklade.[1] This set of verses is one of the secondary sources for Becket's life.[2]

The verses have been edited and published by F. Michel in 1844.[1] In turn, Benet's work was used as a source for the 14th-century Icelandic saga about Becket titled Thómas saga erkibyskups.[3]
