The Big Bell Gold Mine is a gold mine located at Big Bell, 24 km north-west of Cue, Western Australia.[2] The mine was owned and operated by Harmony Gold at the time of its closure in June 2003, having produced 2.6 million ounces (73.7 metric tons) of gold during its lifetime, but was sold to Aragon Resources Limited in January 2010.[3]

The mine was, for a short time in 2008, owned by Monarch Gold Mining Company Ltd., who went into administration in June 2008.[4] Big Bell never entered production under Monarch's ownership.

The mine is owned by Westgold Resources Limited and part of its Cue Gold Operations.
