Julio Bécquer Villegas (born December 20, 1931, in Havana, Cuba) is a retired professional baseball player, a first baseman who played in 488 games over seven seasons (1955; 1957–61; 1963) for the Washington Senators, Los Angeles Angels and Minnesota Twins of Major League Baseball. Bécquer batted and threw left-handed; he stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and weighed 178 pounds (81 kg) during his active career.

Bécquer's pro career began in the Washington organization in 1952 and he made his MLB debut in September 1955, getting into ten games, with one start as a first baseman, and collecting three hits in 14 at bats. He spent 1956 with the Triple-A Louisville Colonels, where he belted 15 home runs but posted only a .235 batting average. Bécquer then spent four full seasons with the Senators. Although he appeared in 100 or more games over three seasons (1957; 1959–60) only in 1960 was he Washington's regular first baseman. That season, the last of the "original" Senators' 60 years in Washington, he set personal bests in games played (110), hits (75) and runs batted in (35). At the expansion draft that followed in December, he was left unprotected and was taken as the 49th player selected by the new Los Angeles Angels franchise.
