Nex Benedict (January 11, 2008 – February 8, 2024) was a 16-year-old non-binary American high school student who died the day after a physical altercation in the girls' restroom of their high school. Investigators later determined Benedict's death was a self unaliving caused by a drug overdose. The incident was the subject of national media attention as some have argued Benedict's death was the result of anti-LGBT policies in Benedict's home state of Oklahoma.
