Prosper Bender (July 30, 1844 – January 24, 1917) was a homeopathic physician, a writer, and a proponent of the American annexation of Canada. His home was a center of literary activity in Quebec City in the 1870s. After the publication of two books, Bender moved to Boston, where he became an outspoken critic of Conservative governments in Canada. He also wrote about French-Canadian culture for American audiences. He lived and practiced medicine in Boston for over twenty-five years before repatriating to Quebec City.
