Beverly Klass (born November 8, 1956) is an American professional golfer. She joined the LPGA Tour in 1976, and in 1984 she achieved career-best finishes at the West Virginia LPGA Classic and the San Jose Classic, with a second-place tie in both 1984 events.

Over the next six years, after suing to have her amateur status reinstated, she won over 25 city and state tournaments in California. In 1967, at the age of 10 years, 7 months, and 21 days, Klass became the youngest player to ever compete in the U.S. Women's Open.
