Delaware Route 286 (DE 286), also known as Bethel Church Road, is a short, 1.73-mile (2.78 km) two-lane roadway in New Castle County, Delaware. The route runs from the Maryland border, where it becomes Maryland Route 286 (MD 286), east to DE 15. The route passes through rural areas with some homes. DE 286, along with MD 286 and DE 15, forms a link between Chesapeake City, Maryland and Summit Bridge, Delaware. The road was paved in the 1930s and became DE 286 in the 1990s.

DE 286 begins at the Maryland border, where MD 286 continues west to Chesapeake City. From the state line, the route heads east on two-lane undivided Bethel Church Road, passing through areas of farms. A short distance later, the road runs between residential developments. The road then passes between homes to the north and farm fields to the south before becoming lined with farms on both sides. DE 286 reaches its eastern terminus at DE 15, which heads south on Choptank Road and east on Bethel Church Road.

DE 286 has an annual average daily traffic count of 3,519 vehicles. None of DE 286 is part of the National Highway System.

By 1920 what is now DE 286 existed as an unimproved county road. The road was paved by 1936 and served as part of the route between Summit Bridge and Chesapeake City, Maryland. DE 286 was designated onto its current alignment by 1994, serving as a continuation of MD 286.

The entire route is in New Castle County.
