La Bethesda Fountain està situada al centre de l'esplanada Bethesda Terrace a Central Park, al barri de Manhattan a la ciutat de Nova York.
L'escultura de la font ha estat dissenyada el 1868 per Emma Stebbins i inaugurada el 1873. Stebbins era la primera dona a realitzar un projecte artístic per a la ciutat de Nova York. Els quatre querubins representen de la part inferior les virtuts: la temprança, la puresa, la prosperitat i la pau. L'obra és coronat per un àngel, anomenat Angel of the Water en record al sistema d'aigua potable, «Croton water system» , estrenat el 1842. S'inspira en un passatge de l'Evangeli segons Joan, capítol 5, que descriui un àngel beneint la piscina de Bethesda a Jerusalem. És la única obra escultural del parc.
