|Ben Denis Unwin (15 August 1977 – 14 August 2019) was an Australian actor, best known for portraying Jesse McGregor on the television soap opera Home and Away from 1996 until 2000, and again from 2002 to 2005.
For his portrayal of Jesse, Unwin in 1997 was nominated for the Logie Award for Most Popular New Talent, and for a British National Television Award for Most Popular Newcomer. After Home and Away, he completed a law degree and worked as a senior solicitor in Sydney and then in Newcastle.
Unwin was found dead on 14 August 2019, one day shy of his 42nd birthday, at his home in Minyon Falls, west of Byron Bay. Police would not consider his death, which was reported six days later on 20 August, to be suspicious.
