Bel Riose is a fictional character in the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov. In the 1945 novella "Dead Hand", he is the last great general of the declining Galactic Empire. He targets the Foundation both as a perceived threat to the Empire and to further his own ambitions, but is outmaneuvered by its agents.
Riose is voiced by Dinsdale Landen in the 1973 BBC Radio 4 adaptation The Foundation Trilogy. He is portrayed by Ben Daniels in season two of the 2021 Apple TV+ television series adaptation Foundation.
