Bev Unwin was a fictional character in the long-running British soap opera Coronation Street played by Susie Blake. Manageress of the Rovers, Bev used to own a pub with her husband, until he died. Bev had two daughters Shelley Unwin and Sharon Unwin, who died in February 2004.

After her death, Bev moved into the Rovers Return where she worked as barmaid alongside her daughter Shelley who was pub manageress. Bev also spent some time working at The Weatherfield Arms. She was engaged to Fred Elliott, and was due to marry him in early October 2006 but he died on their wedding day before the ceremony whilst visiting Audrey Roberts.

Bev never got over losing Fred before they married, and after controversially splitting his ashes into two halves, presenting Ashley with his share in a coffee jar, she began to hit the bottle, quite often helping herself to drinks at the bar of the Rovers. When the McDonalds bought the pub, she moved in with Claire and Ashley, but relationships were strained between them. Bev finally agreed to move away from Weatherfield and join daughter Shelley at her pub in the Peak District. She moved at Christmas 2006, having scattered Fred's ashes with Ashley.
