Joseph Edward Becker (June 25, 1908 – January 11, 1998) was a catcher in Major League Baseball who played in 40 games for the Cleveland Indians in 1936-1937. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri.

After serving in the Navy during World War II he managed in the minors for several years, including stints with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Jersey City Giants and Charleston Senators. Between 1955 and 1970, he was a pitching coach in the National League for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs.

A member of the relatively small fraternity of former catchers who excelled as a pitching tutor (including men such as Ray Berres, Dave Duncan and Mike Roarke), Becker coached for four NL championship Dodger clubs, including the 1955, 1959 and 1963 world champions.
