Beta 64 is a 32-map megawad for Doom 64 created by Antnee. One of the first publicly released megawads for the game, Beta 64 actually began its development cycle a year after the release of Doom 64 in 1997, in the form of a series of map notes drawn on paper by Antnee, in the hope of turning it into a full fledged megawad as soon as proper tools would become available. Many of these notes and drawings would ultimately make it to the final product. The project was planned to be released for the Doom 64 TC for the Doomsday Engine in 2008, but that plan fell through until the project was picked up again for the Doom64 EX source port in 2015, ultimately being released to the public on October 19, 2018.

On December 23, 2023, a Remastered version by styd051 was released. It adds Antnee's MAP10: The Dungeons from Community Chest 64, but otherwise primarily fixes excess secrets, map bugs and sector colorization, as well as making it compatible with the 2020 re-release.

In 2024, Beta 64 was included in the Missed Cacowards 2.
