Alfred Henry Bellot (born 1882) was a historian whose History of the Rockaways from the Year 1685 to 1917, published in 1918, was probably the definitive history up to that time of the communities on the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens County, New York City and the villages and hamlets which comprise what is known today as the Five Towns of Nassau County, Long Island, New York, namely Inwood, Lawrence, Cedarhurst, Woodmere and Hewlett.
