Julius Roderich Benedix (1811 – 1873) was a German dramatist and librettist, born in Leipzig, where he was educated there at Thomasschule.
After an engagement in Cologne, he managed the new theatre at Elberfeld (1844-1845) and in 1849 was appointed teacher on the staff of the Rhenish school of music in Cologne. In 1855 he was appointed intendant of the municipal theatre in Frankfurt-on-Main, but retired in 1861, and died in Leipzig in 1873.
Benedix's comedies, the scenes of which are mostly laid in upper middle-class life, still enjoy some popularity.
