Gordon Albert Beet (5 May 1939 – 19 January 1994) was an English cricketer who played first class cricket for Derbyshire between 1956 and 1961.

Beet was born at Heanor, Derbyshire. He started representing Derbyshire in the Minor Counties Championship in 1955, and played most of his matches for the second XI. He made two first-class appearances for Derbyshire in the 1956 season with his debut against Kent when he made 4 runs in the only innings he played. His next first class appearance was in a single match in the 1958 season. Three years later in the 1961 season, he played in two County Championship games and a match against Oxford University.

Beet was a right-handed batsman and played seven innings in six first class matches with an average of 7.20 and a top score of 17. He was a slow left-arm bowler and took two first class wickets for 100 runs.[1]
