Ben Weasel (born Ben Foster in Chicago, Illinois) was the lead singer of punk rock bands Screeching Weasel and The Riverdales.

Weasel is also a writer. In the early 1990s, Weasel published the fanzine Panic Button, which focused on punk rock and hockey. He published two one off zines through Oyster Publications, Brady Bunch Behemoth (1991) and Stab! Stab! Stab! (1992). Weasel also wrote for other various zines, including Razorcake, Non-Stop Banter, Jersey Beat, Hit List, 10 Things Jesus Wants You To Know. He also had a long-running column in MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL, one of the most prominent punk rock fanzines. Weasel wrote a novel in 2001 called Template:Like Hell and put out a collection of his columns and articles in 2002 entitled Punk is a Four Letter Word. Both books were published by Hope and Nonthings, a small publishing house based in Chicago run by former bandmate John Jughead.

Weasel also ran his own Chicago-based record label called Panic Button, which he also started in 1997 with Jughead and sold to Lookout Records in 2001. In recent years he has released one solo album and is currently working on a follow up to it.
