Robert Joseph "Bob" Beckham (July 8, 1927 – November 11, 2013) was an American country singer from Stratford, Oklahoma. Beckham started his career as a child star in several films.

Beckham, after a stint in the U.S. Army as a paratrooper during World War II, signed to Decca Records. He scored two hit singles in the U.S., both released on Decca Records.
