3691 Bede {{IPAc-en|b|iː|d}}, provisional designation {{mp|1982 FT}}, is an Amor asteroid discovered on March 29, 1982, by Luis E. González at Cerro El Roble.

Based on lightcurve studies, Bede has a rotation period of 226.8 hours, but this figure is based on less than full coverage, so that the period may be wrong by 30 percent or so.
