Rebecca Quick (born July 18, 1972), nicknamed Becky is an American television journalist/newscaster, co-anchorwoman of CNBC's financial news show Squawk Box. Quick is currently based at CNBC’s New Jersey headquarters. She is also a fill-in as the anchor on the CNBC post-market wrap-up show Fast Money.

Quick graduated from Rutgers University in 1993 with a BA in Political Science and she was editor-in-chief of The Daily Targum. As an undergraduate, Quick was awarded the Times Mirror Fellowship from the Journalism Resources Institute at Rutgers. Prior to her employment at CNBC, she covered retail and e-commerce industry topics for the The Wall Street Journal, and helped launch the paper's website in April 1996. Quick served as the site’s International News Editor, overseeing foreign affairs coverage.

Quick grew up in Indiana, Texas and Oklahoma as her geologist father and his family followed "booms" in oil production. The family ultimately settled in Medford, New Jersey. She now lives in Haworth, New Jersey. She is currently married to the producer of Squawk Box . (Quick was previously married.)

Squawk Box aired a You Tube video of a tribute song made about Becky on 3 June 2009 which has prompted some questions about the network's concern for the safety of their anchors. As is pointed out in the video, Becky is very well liked by those on Wall Street, including CEOs such as J.P. Morgan Chase's Jamie Dimon and Warren Buffett.
