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