Robert John Bell (22 July 1950 – 5 September 2001) was an Australian politician.

Born in Hobart, he was educated at the University of Tasmania and the University of New England before becoming a teacher and youth employment co-ordinator. He was later an electorate assistant and served on Hobart City Council. In 1990, he was appointed to the Australian Senate as a Democrat Senator for Tasmania, filling the casual vacancy caused by the resignation of Norm Sanders. He held the seat until his defeat in 1996.

Bell died in 2001.[1]
