Van Beek is a toponymic surname of (southern) Dutch origin. Though translating as "of the stream", the absence of an article suggests that the original bearer originated from a town called Beek rather than lived near a stream.

The name is quite common in the Netherlands, ranking 38th in 2007. Related names include Beek, Van Beeck, Ter Beek, Van der Beek, and Verbeek. People with this surname include:
