Benjamin Charles Stephenson, or B. C. Stephenson, (1838 – 1906) was a dramatist and librettist in Victorian England. Writing under the pseudonym "Bolton Rowe," he wrote the libretto to Arthur Sullivan's one-act comic opera, The Zoo.

He collaborated several times with Alfred Cellier, most notably on Dorothy, which opened at the Gaiety Theatre on September 25 1886. The show transferred to two other theatres, ultimately closing in 1889, a long run that eclipsed even Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado.

Stephenson died on January 22 1906.
