Niels Ivar Bech (22. august 1920 – 25. juli 1975) var en dansk industrileder.

Han blev den første direktør for it-virksomheden Regnecentralen (RC), der blev dannet i 1955 som en forgrening af Akademiet for de Tekniske Videnskabers regnemaskineudvalg.

I perioden 1955 til Niels Ivar Bech blev afskediget i 1971, ledede han en dansk it-udvikling uden at have nogen særlig uddannelse inden for faget. Men hans evne til at ansætte gode it-kræfter var velkendt, hele medarbejderlisten hos RC var en blå bog over de første pionerer inden for dansk informationsteknologi.^[1]

Efter sin afgang fra RC blev Niels Ivar Bech tilknyttet Instituttet for Fremtidsforskning som direktør – og også her viste han med enkle midler motivationens kunst.^{[kilde mangler]}

By Isaac L Auerbach Citat: "...One of Niels Ivar Bech's unique contributions was the extraordinary cadre of young, outstanding computer men that he developed within Denmark. It was his personal dynamism and visjon that sent his best people to spend a year studying in some of the centers of computer development throughout the world. These same men returned home to become the backbone of technical creativity and management of Regnecentralen and then the heads of the computer departments in many of the universities in Denmark. »Bech's boys« became the leading professors and educators in computer sciences throughout Denmark and are responsible for training many of the computer people in Denmark and portions of Germany...", backup
