Johann Nepomuk Beck (5 May 1827 – 9 April 1904) was a Hungarian operatic baritone.
He possessed a flexible and strong voice that was particularly suited to the French and Italian operatic repertoire.
Beginning in 1853, he sang for more than thirty years at the Hofoper (now the Vienna State Opera), particularly excelling in works by Giacomo Meyerbeer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Giuseppe Verdi.
He notably portrayed the role of King Solomon in the world première of Karl Goldmark’s Die Königin von Saba in 1875.
