Deutsch: „In Rot drei schräge silberne (weiße) Wellenbalken, die von rechts oben nach links unten verlaufen.“ Die korrekte Blasonierung lautet: „In Rot drei schräge silberne (weiße) Wellenbalken.“ Beckum ist eine der Städte wo das Wappen nicht auf dem Siegel basiert. Das alte Siegel von 1243 zeigt den hl. Stephanus zwischen zwei spitzen Türmen. Das heutige Wappen entstand um 1500. Es erschien erstmals 1506 auf einem Relief am Rathaus und später auf Münzprägungen und einem Gerichtssiegel (1574). Die drei Bäche sind "redend" - "Bechem" bzw. "Beckehem" sind die mittelalterlichen Bezeichnungen der Stadt und bedeuten "Ort am Bach". Die jetzigen Wappenfarben sind seit 1677 gesichert.
English: „Gules, three bends wavy Argent.“ The colours of the arms are known since 1677. The arms were granted officially again on March 26, 1976. Beckum was an important town for the Bishops of Münster, who granted city rights in 1231. Unlike many other German towns, the arms were not based on the old seals. The seals , showed a city gate with church and the patron saint, St. Stephanus. The arms appeared around 1500 on the city hall and later also on coins and elsewhere. The arms are canting, Bach=Bachheim=Beckum (Bach=brook).
