Benjamin Urrutia (1950-), international author and scholar, was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

Urrutia co-authored, with Guy Davenport, The Logia of Yeshua (1996), which collected what they consider to be Jesus' authentic sayings from a variety of canonical and non-canonical sources. Urrutia interprets Jesus' mission to be that of a leadership role in the "Israelite nonviolent resistance to Roman oppression."
