Benjamin F. Hake (3 September 1895, Omaha, Nebraska - 5 August 1973, Santa Barbara, California) was an American petroleum geologist who helped explore the Mexican oil fields in Baja California, the west coast of Mexico, Tamaulipas and Vera Cruz. He served in both World Wars; in WWI with the ambulance corps and Railway Artillery Reserve in France.

==Early Life and Family==
Hake was born on September 3, 1895 in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of Benjamin Franklin Hake Sr. and Aura Smith Hake. As a child, he traveled around America with his family, but spent much of his time in Wyoming. He graduated from Polytechnic High School in Los Angeles, and after graduation he operated a guide and taxi service in Worland, Wyoming for two years. In 1916, he got a job as assistant and guide to Charles Dake on the Wyoming Geological Survey. This steered him towards geology. But, his life as a student was interrupted by World War I. He entered as an enlisted man in the U.S. Medical Corps, and transferred to the Railway Artillery Reserve, and was honorably discharged at the end of the war with the rank of Lieutenant. Back at Stanford, he studied under Bailey Willis and got an A.B. in geology.
For his first assignment, he was hired by Marland Oil Company of Ponca Oklahoma, to survey large areas of the west coast of Mexico including Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco as well as Baja California to ascertain whether there were areas that should be explored in detail. The Mexican Revolution was still going on during this time and during his odyssey; Hake met some of the top Generals, slept in the huts of peons affected by the war, and crossed the deserts of Baja on mule back. While he was on this year-long assignment, he corresponded with his girlfriend, Kirby Ingoldsby, the first female mechanical engineering student at Stanford University. They were married several months after his return and remained married until her death in 1966. They had four children and five grandchildren.
