Claude Beer was an American backgammon player who won the World Championship of Backgammon in 1974. That year's event was played in Las Vegas with a field of about 128 players, and Beer beat Philip Martyn of Great Britain in the final. Dale Kerr's history of the championships lists him among the winners of the Las Vegas events of 1967 to 1975, which are regarded as unofficial although their winners are generally accepted as world champions. Beer followed Oswald Jacoby in 1972 and Carol Crawford in 1973, and was followed in 1975 by Billy Eisenberg.
