Ben Purrington (born 20 May 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left back for Rotherham United.
Born in Exeter, he joined the Plymouth Argyle youth academy when he was nine and signed his first professional contract in May 2013. Seven months later, Purrington made his first team debut in a Football League game against Oxford United, and scored his first senior goal in his fourth game; an FA Cup tie with Port Vale.
He soon became a regular in the side after an injury suffered to team-mate Gary Sawyer at the beginning of the 2016–17 season. However, after 12 years of being at the club, Purrington played his final game for Argyle against Cheltenham Town on 21 January 2017.
On 30 January 2017, Purrington completed a move to Championship side Rotherham United for a reported £300,000 fee, signing a three-and-a-half year contract. He made his debut for The Millers in the 1-0 away defeat at Bristol City on 4 February 2017.
Purrington's uncle is former England rugby union player Richard Hill.
