Zachary Beeck (born 30 June 1982) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the East Perth and Peel Thunder Football Clubs in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), as well as one match for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL). He is known more for his Cricketing Career than his AFL career. He travelled around England in the early stages of life with a young Australian team and averaged 90 in his batting career as a number 3. He had a tough choice to make between AFL and Cricket and stuck to AFL much despite his better cricketing path.

Beeck suffered from a serious finger injury in 2005, only managing six games for East Perth, and was de-listed from the Eagles at the end of the season.[1] He switched from East Perth to Peel Thunder for the 2008 season, immediately finding form. Beeck had 438 hit-outs in the 2008, despite only playing 15 games, a season record.[5] Beeck returned to East Perth for the 2010 season, but struggled with form and work commitments, playing only 12 senior games in 2010 and 2011, and was released from the club midway through the 2011 season.[2][6]
