Borden D. Dent (1938–2000) was an American geographer and cartographer who served as professor emeritus and chairman of the Department of Geography and Anthropology at Georgia State University.

Borden D. Dent was a native of Arkansas but attended both elementary and high school in Maryland. He completed a B.A. in Geography at Towson State University before pursuing a M.A. in Geography from the University of California at Berkeley. He then went on to earn his PhD in Geography from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. After completing his education, Dent taught geography and cartography classes at Georgia State University for thirty years.〔Eric Behan, “Borden Dent, 62, GSU Geographer,” Atlanta Journal-Constitution, August 20, 2000, Obituaries section〕 During his career, Dent “published articles on cartography and geography in leading professional journals, including the ''Annals, Association of American Geographers, the American Cartographer, the Cartographic Journal'' and the ''Journal of Geography''.” 〔Georgia State University, “Guideline for Graduate Studies in Geography: Introducing the Geography Faculty,” 1998-1999 Edition, http://monarch.gsu.edu/pdf-docs/geog-guidelines-old.pdf. 〕 In recognition of his cartographic skill, the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping asked in 1981 that Borden Dent contribute the first map commentary ever featured in ''The American Cartographer''.〔D. Dent, “Map Commentary: City of Revere, Massachusetts,” The American Cartographer 8, no. 2, 187.〕 Yet another testament to Borden Dent’s contribution to his field is that his academic publications have been cited 121 times as of April 2009.〔ISI Web of Knowledge, “Search Results for Cited Author Borden D.
