Becky Birtha (born October 11, 1948) is an American poet and children's author who lives in the greater Philadelphia area. She is best known for her poetry and short stories depicting African-American and lesbian relationships, often focusing on topics such as interracial relationships, emotional recovery from a breakup, single parenthood and adoption. Her poetry was featured in the acclaimed 1983 anthology of African-American feminist writing ''Home Girls: A Black Feminist Anthology'', edited by Barbara Smith and published by the Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press. She has won a Lambda Literary award for her poetry. She has been awarded grants from the Pew Fellowships in the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts〔 to further her literary works.

Birtha was born on October 11, 1948 in Hampton, Virginia to Jessie Moore Birtha and Herbert Marshall Birtha. She is the younger sister of Rachel Birtha Eitches, a former international radio broadcaster for the Voice of America. She self-identifies as an African-American with Cherokee, Catawba, African, and Irish heritage, all of which inform her writing.
Birtha grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She attended the State University of New York at Buffalo for a Bachelor of Science in Child Studies in 1973 and later obtained a Master of Fine Arts in Writing from the Vermont College of Fine Arts in 1984.〔 In addition to her writing, she has worked as a teacher, a legal librarian, and as a representative for an adoption agency.〔
