Beth Slater Whitson (December 1, 1879 – April 26, 1930) was an American lyricist.

In 1913, Whitson and her family moved to Nashville where she and her sister Alice continued to write and publish.

Beth’s local biographer, Grace Baxter Thompson, remarked at the dedication of a state historical marker to Whitson’s career in 1978: “She gave beauty and color and enjoyment to her community from which those qualities have been far-reaching and long-lasting”.

Her first major hit, "Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland", became known in 1949 when it was featured in the movie In the Good Old Summertime.
