Beatrice Ann Firth (died June 20, 2008) was a Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Riverdale South in the Yukon Legislative Assembly from 1982 to 1996. She was a member of the Yukon Progressive Conservative Party.

A registered nurse before entering politics, Firth moved to Whitehorse in 1967 and worked at the Whitehorse General Hospital. She was elected to the legislature in 1982. She sat as a member of the Yukon Progressive Conservative Party until 1991, when she was one of two MLAs, along with Alan Nordling, who quit the caucus in protest against the party's change of name to the Yukon Party. Firth and Nordling thereafter sat as the only members of the Independent Alliance.

Firth did not run in the 1996 election.

She died on June 20, 2008 of cancer.
