Becicherecu Mic (also Becicherecul Mic; German: Klein-Betschkerek, Hungarian: Kisbecskerek; Serbian: Мали Бечкерек or Mali Bečkerek) is a commune in Romania, in Timiş County, Banat, near the city of Timişoara. It is composed of a single village, Becicherecu Mic. It also included Dudeştii Noi village until 2004, when it was split off to form a separate commune.
Its name means "Small Becicherec", as opposed to the "Great Becicherec" ("Becicherecu Mare" in Romanian), located in Serbia and renamed Zrenjanin in 1946.
At the end of World War II many of the German inhabitants left the village.
