Maggie A. Beckett is a fictional character on the television show Sliders, played by Kari Wührer. She was introduced in the episode "The Exodus, Part One" and was present in the last nine episodes of the third season, and the entire fourth and fifth seasons. Maggie had a father named Thomas Beckett who was also in the military.

When the sliders first met Maggie in the episode "The Exodus", she was a captain in the United States Marines under the command of Colonel Angus Rickman. She was married to Dr. Stephen Jensen, who was in a wheelchair due to an accident a year prior. She was part of a plot to assassinate Dr. Jaribeck, a scientist who discovered that a pulsar would soon irradiate the Earth, killing all life. Since the sliders were with him when he died, Maggie questioned them about anything he might have said. The sliders managed to escape from Maggie and locked her in the trunk of a car, but Maggie arrested the sliders when she met them again at Dr. Jaribeck's office at California Institute of Technology.

When Maggie's superiors learned about sliding technology, Quinn was ordered to help Dr. Jensen (Maggie's husband) perfect his sliding technology. Maggie and Quinn were ordered to scout parallel worlds to find one that was suitable to build a colony where people would be free from the deadly pulsars.

Maggie almost died when she arrived to Earth Prime and was unable to breathe the air. Quinn concluded that the people on Maggie's earth must have different lungs from the lungs of people on Earth Prime.

Dr. Jensen felt that Quinn and Maggie were attracted to each other and was angry at Quinn because of that.

Rickman killed Dr. Jensen to keep him quiet. When Maggie found out that Rickman murdered her husband, she wanted revenge. Rickman slid, so Maggie's only way to get revenge was to slide with Quinn, Rembrandt and Wade. Right after Maggie decided to slide with the others, when Quinn said, "Welcome aboard, Captain Beckett," Maggie revealed that she resigned her position in the military and was now just "Beckett".
