Beverley Beck is a short canal in the East Riding of Yorkshire England. The beck runs from Grovehill Lock on the River Hull at Beverley west for about 0.8 miles (1.3 km) into the town of Beverley. Until 1802 the beck was tidal but the Beverley and Barmston drain needed to pass under it and the lock was constructed to maintain water levels over its tunnel. In 1898 a steam engine was installed which could be used to top up the water levels in the beck by pumping water from the River Hull.
