Benvenida Cohen Belmonte (fl. c. 1720) was a British Jewish poet, who lived in London at the beginning of the eighteenth century.

Her mother Manuela Nuñez de Almeida was a poet before her, as was her brother, Mordecai Nuñez de Almeyda. She was among those who sang the praise of Daniel Israel López Laguna's Espejo fiel de vidas (London, 1720).[1] She also wrote a panegyric poem in honour of Captain Samuel Nassy of Suriname.[2]
