Sandler Benyamin(Benjamin) Khonovich (7 December 1907, Lutzin [Ludza], Vitebsk Province — after 1941) — educator.

Benyamin Sandler graduated from the Jewish municipal secondary school in Lyutsin (Ludza). In 1928 he entered the medical faculty of the University of Zurich, but in 1933 he discontinued his studies.

From 1935, he taught religious studies (Law of God) in Riga at the Private Jewish secondary and elementary gymnasium of I. Rauchvarger, and from 1939 at the school of the Jewish Society “Ivrit” (formerly the primary and secondary school of the Jewish Society for the Promotion of Arts and Knowledge).

He was married to Tsiva Rabinovich.

In 1941, he was deported to the ghetto, where he worked in peat extraction in Sloka–Ķemeri. His further fate is unknown.
