Bekan or Becan (Irish: Béacán)[1][2] is a village in County Mayo, Ireland. Because of the almost entirely rural population, it is traditionally a farming community. The village is off the R323 road between Knock and Ballyhaunis. The local school is St. Joseph's National School.
The Connacht Gaelic Athletic Association Centre of Excellence was built outside the village in December 2012.[3]
