Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church was a historic African Methodist Episcopal church located at 820 Clay Street in Parkersburg, Wood County, West Virginia. It was built in 1887 and was a two-story, stucco building in a vernacular interpretation of the Gothic Revival style. It was one of three black churches in Parkersburg and was the oldest black church building in west-central West Virginia. The church was located in a neighborhood of late 19th-century wood-frame houses only a block from downtown.^[2]^[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.^[1] It is presumed to have been demolished or moved since then.
