Ben Pomeroy (born 10 January 1984) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 2000s, and 2010s. He played for Cambridge Park RLFC in the Penrith district then went on to play in the National Rugby League for Australian clubs, Penrith Panthers and Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, and in Super League for French club Catalans Dragons. His usual position was as a centre.
Pomeroy was born in Penrith, New South Wales.
Pomeroy made his first Premiership debut with the Panthers in Round 21, of the 2004 NRL season. After only sporadic NRL appearances for the Panthers, Pomeroy signed with the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in 2006. A serious groin injury that year limited his appearances on the field for Cronulla to eight games. In 2007, he became a regular at centre in the run-on side and scored his first hat-trick of tries in Round 6. After a 1-9 start to the 2009 season, Cronulla Sharks coach Ricky Stuart axed Pomeroy, dropping him to the NSW Cup.
Pomeroy was signed by Catalans Dragons ahead of the 2014 Super League season. In 2015, he was sent off in two consecutive home games against St. Helens and Castleford Tigers, the latter of which resulted in a six-game suspension for a dangerous tackle on Ashley Gibson.
Pomeroy was one of seventeen Cronulla Sharks players found guilty of using illegal substances under the club's 2011 supplements program, having a twelve-month suspension (which had already expired due to backdating) recorded against his name.
