Benjamin Tallmadge (1754 – 1835) was an American military officer, spy master and politician. He is best known for his service as an officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. In this conflict he acted as leader of the Culper Ring, a celebrated network of spies in British-occupied New York. He also led a successful raid across Long Island that culminated in the Battle of Fort St. George. Following the war, Tallmadge was elected to the United States House of Representatives as a member of the Federalist Party.
Tallmadge is also a main character in the AMC series Turn: Washington's Spies. He is played by Seth Numrich and holds the rank of captain until the sixth episode, where he is promoted to major by General Washington.
Mr. Recorder Tallmadge, in 1858 caused to be printed a memoir of his father, the late Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge, a well-known partisan officer of the American army during nearly the whole period of the Revolutionary War. The following statement, by the Recorder, is prefixed to the volume:
"The following Memoir of Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge was prepared by himself, at the request of his children, and for their gratification. It is confined, principally, to those incidents of the Revolutionary war with which he was more immediately connected, and therefore becomes more interesting to his descendants and family friends."
