Maria Josefina Theresia Gabriëlle "Marijke" van Beukering-Huijbregts (born 30 December 1971) is a Dutch politician, who has served in the House of Representatives and who has been the Mayor of Nieuwegein since 2023. She is a member of the social-liberal party Democrats 66 (D66).

Before entering politics, she worked as a secretary in the Netherlands and abroad, and she later founded her own company. She became D66's sole member in the IJsselstein municipal council in 2006. When she was re-elected in 2010, Van Beukering became an alderwoman. She resigned in 2017 because of problems with the municipality's cooperation with Montfoort, but was re-appointed shortly after. She stepped down once more in November 2017, and subsequently worked as an independent advisor, mostly for organizations in the public sector.

She filled the seat of MP Rens Raemakers, who was on sick leave, for four months in 2020. Seven days later, she replaced MP Monica den Boer to become a permanent member of the House. Van Beukering lost re-election in 2021 but succeeded MP Sidney Smeets in April 2021. She became the Mayor of Nieuwegein two years later.
