The Wrixon-Becher Baronetcy, of Ballygiblin in the County of Cork, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 30 September 1831 for William Wrixon-Becher, Member of Parliament for Mallow from 1818 to 1826. Born George Wrixon, he assumed by Royal licence his mother's maiden surname of Becher in 1831. The Becher family were major landowners in County Cork.

The family seat was at Castle Hyde, near Fermoy, County Cork.
