Benjamin "Truck" Rutten (born 28 May 1983) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League.

Debuting in 2003, Rutten was initially positioned forward, where he had played for West Adelaide.On his debut he joined an elite club of players who have goaled with each of their first three kicks. His time in the first team was however limited, and he was moved to defence. Rutten made a name for himself as a tough full-back and came of age in the 2005 season, where he was part of Adelaide's sturdy defensive unit, and often held his opponents to 2 goals or less. This earned him All-Australian selection in 2005.
