Ben Roarty (born 5 February, 1975) is an Australian former professional rugby league player. He played for the Melbourne Storm, Penrith Panthers, Huddersfield Giants and the Castleford Tigers as a second-row, loose-forward and as a prop.

Roarty was a member of the inaugural Melbourne Storm team and played in their first game on 14 March, 1998, winning against Illawarra Steelers, 14-12.

Roarty scored a try in the match and the Storm won the game, 20–18.

Seeking a regular first-grade starting position, Roarty joined the Penrith Panthers in 2002 but he was again primarily used as an interchange player. After being offered a place at Huddersfield Giants in the English Super League, Penrith granted Roarty a release and he left the Panthers half-way into their 2003 premiership winning season.

Since 2007, Roarty has been coach of the Sunbury United Tigers first-grade team in the Victorian Rugby League competition.
