Церква Святої Параскеви Сербської в Могилеві-Подільському – пам'ятка подільського дерев'яного зодчества.

Місцеві жителі називають її Немійською, оскільки вона знаходиться в районі, який раніше був окремим селом Немія.

За легендою, колись у родині місцевого поміщика Маєвського мешкала німа дівчинка. Не витримавши постійних глузувань з боку дітей односельців, вона втопилася в річці. На згадку про неї батько і збудував церкву. Сам Маєвський похований на церковному обійсті.

Храм виконаний з дуба та ясена у стилі українського бароко, інтер'єр прикрашений розписами та вишитими рушниками. У різний час церкву Святої Параскеви відвідували Тарас Шевченко, Олександр Пушкін, Василь Тропінін, Ференц Ліст, Михайло Старицький, Олена Пчілка.
