Belington is a town in Barbour County, West Virginia, United States, situated along the Tygart Valley River.

In 1855, it took its current name, Belington, from John Bealin, who had opened up a store there, and who would later move to Kansas.

The Confederates made camp near the Laurel Mountain Road, today, a winding single lane dirt road that crosses the mountain and connects Belington with Elkins.

A bridge spanning the Tygart Valley River at Belington was built in 1886.
