Bell Post Hill is a residential suburb of Geelong, Victoria, Australia. The suburb will be bypassed by traffic from Melbourne coming from the Princes Freeway by the creation of the Geelong Bypass, due for completion in 2009.
The origin of the suburb's name is throught to be from a lookout or warning bell on a post situated on the hill overlooking Corio Bay. The first recorded use of this bell was 1837 during a conflict with the local Aborigines.
