Bennie Maupin (Detroit, 29 agosto 1940) è un clarinettista, flautista e sassofonista statunitense. La notorietà di Maupin deriva principalmente dalla sua partecipazione ai gruppi di Herbie Hancock (il sestetto Mwandishi e gli Headhunters) e per aver preso parte all'incisione dell'album di Miles Davis Bitches Brew, considerato uno dei primi, album di fusion). Inoltre Maupin ha collaborato con molti altri importanti musicisti jazz, e tra questi si ricordano Horace Silver e Roy Haynes, oltre ad aver suonato in vari album dei Meat Beat Manifesto. Dotato di uno stile di improvvisazione armonicamente molto ardito e out Maupin ha tuttavia un senso della melodia abbastanza diverso da quello di altri musicisti con tratti stilistici simili (ad esempio Eric Dolphy). Come compositore, crea brevi melodie e canzoni che servono come punto di partenza per vaste costruzioni improvvisative.
