Gottfried Wilhelm Becker (22 February 1778 – 17 January 1854) was a German physician and writer.

Becker was born and died in Leipzig. He translated some of Cooper's novels and Le mie prigioni [it] (My Prisons) by Silvio Pellico. By his literary labors he accumulated $40,000. His son Karl Ferdinand, an organist and writer on musical topics, added a house worth $7,000 to this sum, and the whole was dedicated to the establishment of an educational and charitable institution for the blind in Leipzig.
