Becky Hobbs (born Rebecca A. Hobbs, January 24, 1950) is an American country singer, songwriter, and pianist. She has recorded several studio albums and has charted multiple singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including the 1983 Top Ten hit "Let's Get Over Them Together," a duet with Moe Bandy.

Hobbs has written over 2000 songs. Besides her work as a solo artist, Hobbs has written for several country and pop acts, such as Helen Reddy, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Shelly West, Glen Campbell, Emmylou Harris, Wanda Jackson, John Anderson, and Shirley Bassey. She co-wrote two well-known songs for Alabama: "I Want to Know You Before We Make Love" (later covered by Conway Twitty in 1987) and "Angels Among Us."

Hobbs wrote the music and lyrics for the 2011 musical Nanyehi: The Story of Nancy Ward, which is based upon the life of her 5th-great grandmother Nancy Ward.
