'''Arthur William à Beckett''' ([[1844]]-[[January 14]], [[1909]]), [[England|English]] [[journalist]] and [[man of letters]]. He was a younger son of [[Gilbert Abbott à Beckett]] and brother of [[Gilbert Arthur à Beckett]].

Beckett was on the staff of ''[[Punch magazine|Punch]]'' from 1874 to [[1902]], and gave an account of his father and his own reminiscences in ''The A Becketts of Punch'' (1903).

A childhood friend (and distant relative) of [[W. S. Gilbert]], Beckett briefly feuded with Gilbert in 1869, but the two patched up the friendship, and Gilbert even later collaborated on projects with Beckett's brother.

Beckett died in [[London]].
