Conrad F. Becker (November 12, 1905 – August 14, 1965) was an American businessman and politician.
Born in Red Bud, Illinois, Becker worked in his family's business C. Becker Milling Company. He was also involved with the banking business. Becker played baseball with semi-pro baseball teams in southern Illinois. He was offered a contract with the St. Louis Cardinals and of which he declined because of his involvement with his family's business. From 1937 to 1941, he served as Mayor of Red Bud, Illinois and was a Republican. From 1942 to 1944, Becker was the warden of the Southern Illinois Penitentiary in Menard, Illinois.
