Benjamin Edward Meara Stiller (nato il 30 novembre 1965) è un attore, comico e regista americano. Conosciuto per il suo mix di umorismo slapstick e arguzia tagliente, Stiller è diventato famoso grazie a commedie come There's Something About Mary (1998), Zoolander (2001) e Tropic Thunder (2008). Stiller è anche noto per il suo lavoro in franchise come i film Meet the Parents (2000–2010), il franchise Madagascar (2005–2012) e i film Night at the Museum (2006–2014).

I suoi premi e riconoscimenti includono un Emmy Award, un Directors Guild of America Award, un Britannia Award e un Teen Choice Award. Stiller è figlio dei comici e attori Jerry Stiller e Anne Meara. Ha iniziato la sua carriera scrivendo mockumentary e gli è stata offerta una serie di sketch varie, The Ben Stiller Show, che ha prodotto e condotto per la sua durata di 13 episodi. La serie è andata in onda su MTV nel 1990 e su Fox nel 1992 e 1993, guadagnandogli un Primetime Emmy Award per la Miglior Scrittura per un Programma di Varietà. Stiller faceva parte di un gruppo di attori comici comunemente noto come Frat Pack. Passando alla recitazione cinematografica, Stiller ha debuttato alla regia con Reality Bites (1994) e ha poi diretto e recitato in film come The Cable Guy (1996) e The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013). Ha inoltre recitato in una serie di commedie di studio di successo, tra cui Along Came Polly (2004), Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004), Starsky & Hutch (2004) e Tower Heist (2011). Le sue interpretazioni in film indipendenti includono Flirting with Disaster (1996), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) e i film di Noah Baumbach Greenberg (2010), While We're Young (2014) e The Meyerowitz Stories (2017). Dalla metà degli anni 2010, Stiller ha lavorato principalmente come regista televisivo e showrunner. Nel 2018 ha diretto la miniserie di Showtime Escape at Dannemora, ottenendo un premio della Directors Guild of America e due nomination ai Primetime Emmy Award per Miglior Miniserie e Miglior Regia per una Miniserie.
