The barangay of Benit is one of the forty-five (45) barangays in the municipality of Sogod, province of Southern Leyte, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 328 inhabitants.
Etymologically, the village derived its name from Baknet or Benit, a kind of wild raspberries (Rubus rosifolius Linn) which once thrived in the area. Formerly under the civil jurisdiction of barangay Magatas, Benit was established as a barangay on June 21, 1959, through the mandated provisions of Republic Act No. 2563, and was subdivided into two sitios: Benit Centro and Layug. However, in 2017, the residents of sitio Layug were evacuated to Benit Centro due to poor soil conditions and frequent mudslides.
