'''Sivert Beck''' (18 November 1566 - 2 January 1623) was a [[DenmarkDanish]] civil servant and landowner. He served as treasurer (''rentemester'') from 1596 and until his death.

==Early life and education==

==Career==
Beck was from1589 employed at the Danish Chancellery, from 1590 with title of secretary.

On 16 November 1596, he was appointed as treasurer (''rentemester''). He remained in the office until his death.

Beck had been granted a [[prelate]] at [[Aarhus Cathedral]] in 1594 but in 1608 exchanged it for a canonry at [[Roskilde Cathedral]. In both cases he was required to stay at the cathedral when no longer in royal service.

Late in his life, he acted as guardian for Christian IV's illegitimate søn, [[Christian Ulrik Gyldenløve]].

==Property==
Beck was a major landowner. He inherited [[Førslevgaard]], Vibygård and Tågerød from his father in 1607. His wife brought Herlufstrup on Zealand and Vandås, Næsbyholm, Klabberup and Frenderup in [[Scania]] into the marriage.

In 1599–1623, he was [[lensmann]] of [[Giske]] in Norway.

==Personal life==
Beck married Lisbet Bille (14 April 1576 - 1656), a daughter of Steen Bille (1527–86) and Kirsten Lindenov (died 1612), on 5 September 1602. He was the father of Lauge Becj (1614–59) and Steen Beck.
