Michael Hugh Hicks Beach, Viscount Quenington (19 January 1877–23 April 1916), was a British politician.

Hicks Beach was the eldest son of the former Chancellor, Michael Hicks-Beach, 1st Earl St Aldwyn, and his wife Lucy Catherine (née Lady Lucy Catherine Fortescue). He sat as Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Tewkesbury from 1906 to 1916 and a board member at Lloyds Bank. He fought in the First World War as a Captain with the 1st Royal Gloucestershire Hussars and died, aged 39 on 23 April 1916 as a result of wounds received at Katia, Egypt. He is buried at the Cairo New British Protestant Cemetery alongside his wife.

From 1915, he held the courtesy title of Viscount Quenington, a subsidiary title held by his father. He married Marjorie, daughter of Henry Dent Brocklehurst, in 1909. She died in March 1916, less than two months before her husband. Their son Michael, 2nd Earl St Aldwyn succeeded his grandfather in the earldom only a week after his father's death. He also became a prominent politician.
