A statement from football's world governing body said: "The Benin Football Association was suspended with immediate effect due to a recent injunction by a local judicial court which impeded the holding of the due election."
The move means Benin are set to miss June's 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Equatorial Guinea.
A court ruling in Benin on 4 May prevented the FBF holding presidential elections and the suspension will be lifted once a new executive committee has been installed.
