American judge (1853–1909)
Benjamin S. Liddon (September 7, 1853 – December 21, 1909) was a justice of the Florida Supreme Court from 1894 to 1896.
Born in Marianna, Florida, Liddon taught school while studying to become a lawyer. He began practicing law in 1875 and formed a partnership with Francis B. Carter, who would eventually succeed him on the supreme court.
Although Justice Raney's term did not expire until the end of 1894, he resigned a few months early and Liddon was appointed to the seat as Chief Justice, and was then elected in the fall to a full six-year term as associate justice. He served 2 years and 7 months from June 1, 1894, to January 1897.
Liddon resigned in January 1897 and moved to Pensacola to resume a law practice. Governor William D. Bloxham appointed Francis Carter to succeed him on January 11, 1897. He died December 21, 1909, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
