The Bell River is a tributary of the south shore of Lake Matagami, which flows into the Nottaway River, a tributary of Rupert Bay. The Bell River flows into the Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Eeyou Istchee Baie-James regions in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in Quebec, in Canada.
The surface of the river is generally frozen from mid-November to mid-May. The Bell River runs through the Réserve de biodiversité projetée du Lac Taibi (translation: "Lake Taibi Proposed Biodiversity Reserve"), located between the confluence of the Baptiste River and the confluence of the Indians River (Bell River).
