Dr. Elizabeth "Beth" Chapel is a fictional superheroine in American comic books published by DC Comics. She is the second character to adopt the Doctor Mid-Nite (or Doctor Midnight) codename and is the successor of the original, Charles McNider. The character is later succeeded by Pieter Cross after her death at the hands of Eclipso. However, following the events of Doomday Clock, the character is resurrected.

She serves as the official physician for both Infinity, Inc. and the Justice Society of America.
