Herbert Bell (30 November 1818 – 15 February 1876) was born in Scotland and immigrated to Canada in the 1840s, settling at Alberton, Prince Edward Island.

Bell was actively involved in a number of pursuits after arriving in Prince County. He was a farmer, merchant, and shipbuilder at this location. Later, when firmly established economically, he entered politics. He eventually became president of the Legislative Council's upper house and held that position until his death.
