The Beck Baronetcy, of the City of London, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 1 November 1714 for Justus Beck, a London merchant. It was the first baronetcy created in the reign of George I of Great Britain. The title became extinct on the death of his second son, the third baronet, in 1764.
