Beaton Tulk (May 22, 1944 – May 23, 2019) was a Canadian educator, civil servant and politician.
An educator prior to politics, he was a supervising principal for the Carmanville school system from 1974 to 1979.
Tulk was first elected to the Newfoundland House of Assembly in 1979 as the Liberal Party of Newfoundland (later Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador) member for Fogo, and was re-elected in 1982 and 1985.
He was defeated in the 1989 election, and in 1990 became the Assistant Deputy Minister of Children and Youth Services for the Newfoundland government.
He was returned to the House of Assembly for Fogo in 1993.
He was then elected in the newly redistributed riding of Bonavista North in 1996, and re-elected in 1999.
Tulk was appointed Minister of Forest Resources and Agrifoods in May 1997 and Minister of Development and Rural Renewal in July 1997.
In December 1998, he stepped down from cabinet when he was the subject of allegations of wrongdoing by the owner of a private college.
He was cleared of any wrongdoing by the police and by a commissioner's report, and returned to the cabinet in April 1999.
He served as the seventh premier of Newfoundland from 2000 to 2001 as a member of the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador.
To date, he is the last premier of the province to be born in the British dependent territory of Newfoundland, before its accession to Canada as a province.

He was not a candidate in the race to succeed Tobin as Liberal leader and returned to the position of Deputy Premier in February 2001 when Roger Grimes was elected Liberal leader and sworn in as Premier.
In 2002, Tulk resigned his provincial seat to run unsuccessfully for the federal Liberals for the House of Commons of Canada seat of Gander—Grand Falls in a by-election after George Baker was appointed to the Senate, but was defeated by Rex Barnes.
Tulk then tried to return to provincial politics, running in the provincial by-election resulting from his own resignation, but was defeated by Harry Harding.
