Becedas is a municipality located in the province of Ávila, Castile and León, Spain. It belongs to the Alto Tormes region. According to the 2025 census (INE), the municipality had a population of 146 inhabitants.
== Toponym == The name derives from biezo, a regional word meaning "birch tree"., which is supported by the abundance of peat bogs, heaths and birch trees (see the nearby town of Tremedal, whose name is commonly used to refer to bogs). However, Gómez Blázquez, scholar of the local lexicon and toponymy, makes a reference to the same word, biezo, with the same meaning, but without linking it to the town's name, for which he proposes other etymologies.
