Evaristo Beccalossi, is an Italian footballer best known for his career at Inter Milan. He was a left-footed playmaker and was renown for his exquisite skills, but was never capped for Italy.

Originally from Brescia, he became a favorite of the Inter Milan fans, where he spent the majority of his career, from 1978-79 to 1983-84. He donned the Inter jersey in 216 games, scored 37 goals and helped the team win a Serie A Championship (1979-80) and a Coppa Italia (1981-82). "Becca," as he is referred to by his fans, became instantly recognizable on the field thanks to his number-10 jersey, as well as his trademark long, curly hair. Together with Inter Milan famous center-forward Alessandro Altobelli, Beccalossi formed one of the longest standing soccer partnerships of Serie A's recent history. Both from Brescia, they were the team's leaders from the late 1970's to the mid 1980's.

In the late summer of 1984, Beccalossi moved to Sampdoria, around the same time Hansi Müller joined Inter Milan. He later played for Monza before returning to Brescia for two seasons, and finished his career with Breno in 1990.
