Benjamin Poponawa (born 28 January 1960) is a Papua New Guinea politician.[1] He has been a member of the National Parliament of Papua New Guinea since July 2007, representing the electorate of Tambul-Nebilyer Open. He was initially elected as an independent, but immediately joined the then-governing National Alliance upon his election.

Poponawa first contested the 2002 general election, but was defeated by People's Democratic Movement candidate Mark Anis.[2] He again contested the seat as an independent at the 2007 general election, and was successful despite having trailed for most of the count.[3] He immediately announced his intention to join the governing National Alliance.[4][5] He was subsequently named as Parliamentary Secretary for Treasury and Finance by Prime Minister Michael Somare.[6]

In January 2012, he joined Don Polye's new Triumph Heritage Empowerment Rural Party.[7] He left the party in May 2014.[8]
