Thorsten Becker (born 13 May 1980) is a German footballer, who in 1992 moved from Fortuna Schlangen to SC Paderborn and has played in the club's first-team squad from 2001 to 2009. He helped Paderborn gain promotion to the second level of the Bundesliga in the 2004–05 season.[1][2] He suffered a knee injury in late 2005 which resulted in a long-term absence from the club.[3]

After he retired from playing football, Becker became a coach and joined Paderborn's under-19 team as co-manager in June 2016.[4]
