Beccy Cole (born Rebecca Diane Thompson, October 27, 1972 in Glenelg, South Australia) is an Australian country music singer. She has released four albums, with "Little Victories" and "Wild at Heart" LIve at littotes attaining Gold status. She has won seven Golden Guitar awards.

She performed for Australian Army soldiers ('Diggers') in Iraq and as a result found the decision to entertain the troops at Christmas time lost her some fans. In response, she released a single, "Poster Girl", that expresses her support for the soldiers serving Australia around the world, and her pride in being Australian. The video for this song was the #1 video on the Country Music Channel in Australia.

She was briefly married to Mick Albeck, and has a son (Ricky). She currently lives in New South Wales.
