Gottfried Becker (9 February 1767 – 21 June 1845) was a Danish pharmacist, professor and industrialist.

After his return to Denmark, he took the pharmaceutical exam and then went on another journey abroad, studying chemistry with Antoine Lavoisier in Paris as well as botany and mineralogy.

He resigned as professor in 1806 due to hardness of hearing, a problem he had acquired in connection with a chemical experiment.

He was also a member of a wide range of commissions and learned societies and the writer of several works on natural sciences.

On 20 April 1794 in Amsterdam, he married Nicolette Adriane Burman (28 August 1774 in Amsterdam – 13 March 1824 in Copenhagen), a daughter of professor in botany Nicolaas Laurens Burman by his wife Anna Marie Verkolje (1753–1810).
