Bentina Beakley, better known as Mrs. Beakley, is a fictional character, a relatively late addition to the fictional Scrooge McDuck universe from the Disney television series "DuckTales". She was voiced by Joan Gerber.

Mrs. Beakley was introduced as Webby Vanderquack's grandmother and legal guardian as well as Scrooge McDuck's housekeeper and the nanny of his nephews. Created exclusively for DuckTales, she first appeared in the five-part pilot episode "Treasure of the Golden Suns". She was hired when Scrooge was looking for a housekeeper and nanny, and was homeless at the time. She agreed to work only for shelter and food for her and Webbigail, an offer which the oft-stingy Scrooge was happy to take.

She is always referred to as "Mrs. Beakley" by everyone except Webby, who calls her "Grammy". Mrs. Beakley sometimes goes along with Scrooge and the nephews on their adventures. She is perhaps gullible, but not stupid. She constantly tries to make the nephews behave. Mrs. Beakley is the only member of Scrooge's household staff other than Duckworth the Butler.

Many years before coming to work for Scrooge, Mrs. Beakley was the nanny to a royal heir named "Prince Greydrake". When the prince was only five years old, he was sent on a plane ride which unexpectedly crashed in an African jungle, and was presumably lost forever (a parody of Tarzan). In the episode "Jungle Duck", Mrs. Beakley accompanied Scrooge on his quest to find a secret silver mine. Along the way, she got lost, but was rescued by a feral duck, who just so happened to be Prince Greydrake. After bonding with the lost prince, Mrs. Beakley and Scrooge worked to get him back to his homeland so that he could be crowned king before his twenty-fifth birthday.
