Bet Mishpachah (Hebrew: בית משפחה, lit.'House of Family') is a non-denominational Jewish egalitarian worshiping community and congregation that supports a synagogue, located in the Dupont Circle area of Washington, D.C., in the United States.

Bet Mishpachah is one of a number of national and international Jewish communities of LGBT affirming congregations that specifically welcome and embrace the LGBT community, along with all others who "wish to participate in an inclusive, egalitarian, and mutually supportive community." Membership is open to all singles, couples, and families, regardless of religious affiliation, sexual orientation, or gender identity.[2][3]

Sabbath worship services and most religious and educational programs are held at the Washington, D.C. Jewish Community Center (DCJCC).
