Bengt Snivil (also known as Bengt Snivel) was a Swedish magnate in the mid-12th century from the House of Bjälbo.
Some more or less romantic later literature has given him the title of jarl, although no proper historical source attests to such. Romantic genealogies assign a lady Sigrid Lakman as his wife, though without historical source.[citation needed]
Bengt Snivil was the "Bengt" or "Benedict" who was son of riksjarl Folke the Fat and Ingegerd Knutsdotter of Denmark, daughter of king Canute IV of Denmark.[1]
