Bensiyon Morisbhai Songavkar is an Indian professional cricketer who has represented Saurashtra.
In 2008, Songavkar was included in a special Israel squad that played against India in a special match in honour of Israel's 60th anniversary. Songavkar was a suggested inclusion by then BCCI secretary general, Niranjan Shah, after the Israel Cricket Association requested names of Jewish cricketers in India.
A year later, Songavkar was selected player of the tournament for cricket at the 2009 Maccabiah Games in Israel.
