Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Benjamin St John Ackers (6 November 1839 – 18 April 1915) was a British Conservative Party politician. He sat in the House of Commons in 1885.

At the 1880 general election he stood unsuccessfully in the borough of Gloucester.[1] A petition was lodged against the election of the two Liberal Party candidates, which led to one of the two returns being voided. However, the writ was suspended, and no by-election was held.[1]

In 1885, a vacancy arose in the Western division of Gloucestershire, when the Liberal MP Robert Kingscote was appointed as Commissioners of Woods, Forests and Land Revenues.[2] Ackers was selected as the Conservative candidate for the resulting by-election, which was held on 12 March 1885. He won the seat with a majority of 411 votes (4.4% of the total) over his Liberal opponent.[2]

Constituencies were radically revised by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, and at the general election in November 1885 Ackers contested the new Thornbury division.[3] He was defeated by a margin of 145 votes by the Liberal Stafford Howard.[3]

Ackers was appointed a deputy lieutenant of Gloucestershire in 1903.[4]
