Robert "Rob" Beckett (born 28 November 1986) is an English stand-up comedian and presenter. He is best known for being a co-host on the ITV2 spin-off show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW! from 2012 to 2014. In September 2015 it was confirmed that Beckett would not return to the show. Since 2016, Beckett has been a team captain on the More4 panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats.

Beckett was born in Mottingham, London. He has four brothers.

Beckett started performing stand-up in 2009 and quickly enjoyed success in all of the new comedian competitions winning four in his first year. His consistently impressive performances won him the runner up position in So You Think You're Funny, and Amused Moose Laugh-Off. The latter earned him an invitation to perform at comedy festivals in Australia. In Adelaide, Beckett was nominated for the best newcomer award. He made his debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2012 with his solo show "Rob Beckett's Summer Holiday".

In 2011, Beckett made a guest appearance as Mike in the Channel 4 series Fresh Meat.

From 2012 until 2014, Beckett co-hosted I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW!, the ITV2 spin-off from the main show. He presented the show with Laura Whitmore and Joe Swash. He announced his departure from the show in October 2015, to concentrate on his tour. He was replaced by David Morgan.

Beckett has presented the Rock'N'Roll Football Sunday show on Absolute Radio since August 2014.

Alongside fellow comedian Ian Smith and former footballer Jimmy Bullard, Beckett hosts UK television channel Dave's comedy-football podcast "The Magic Sponge" - an irreverent look at the lives of professional footballers.
