Jennifer Beck is an American Republican Party politician who has served in the New Jersey State Senate representing the 11th Legislative District since January 10, 2012. Prior to redistricting, she served in the Senate from January 8, 2008 representing the 12th Legislative District, serving portions of Monmouth and Mercer Counties. Beck represented the 12th District in the New Jersey General Assembly from 2006 to 2008.

In the 2007 general election, Beck won her bid for a seat in the New Jersey Senate in a race against Democratic Party candidate Ellen Karcher, in which Beck was outspent by a nearly seven-to-one margin.
