The Bell Boy is a 1918 American two-reel silent comedy film directed by Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle for the Comique film company.[2]

The film stars Arbuckle and Buster Keaton as bellboys in the Elk's Head Hotel. Much of the material in the film was later re-used by Keaton in his 1937 film Love Nest on Wheels. One sequence involving a mop was reused by Keaton in one of his last film appearances in The Scribe.
