Benton County, County administrative division in Tennessee, United States
Benton County sits in western Tennessee, bordered by the Tennessee River, with Camden serving as its capital and largest municipality.

Throughout the year, Benton County's residents gather at the Veterans Park in Camden to honor military service members with commemorative ceremonies.
