Bell Canada (commonly referred to as just Bell) is a Canadian telecommunications company, and one of the largest in that industry for Canada. Its main headquarters is on Nuns’ Island in Verdun, Montreal, Quebec. It is the local exchange carrier for telephone and DSL internet in most of Canada east of Saskatchewan. It also serves Canada's northern territories.

The company provides mobile service through its Bell Mobility division. It also provides Internet Protocol television through its Bell Fibe TV operations, and satellite television through its Bell Satellite TV subsidary. Bell also provides high-speed Internet connections.

Its related company, Bell Aliant, provides these services in Atlantic Canada. Similarly, another related company, Bell MTS, provides the services to Manitoba.

Bell Canada was established on April 29, 1880. It was originally known as The Bell Telephone Company of Canada. But in March 1968, the name was shortened to Bell Canada.

Bell Canada's parent company, BCE Inc., also owns a company named Bell Media. Bell Media has mass media properties, including the CTV Television Network. It also has significant interests in the Montreal Canadiens ice hockey club and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment.

In 2017, Bell acquired Manitoba Telecom Services (MTS), a Manitoba-based telecommunications company, and renamed it to Bell MTS.

Bell Canada is one of the main assets of the holding company BCE Inc. (Bell Canada Enterprises). BCE ranked at № 262 on the 2011 edition of the Forbes Global 2000 list.
