Conception Bay East–Bell Island is a provincial electoral district for the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. As of 2011 there are 11,011 eligible voters living within the district.

Primarily an exurban district within the St. John's Metropolitan Area, the district includes Bell Island (which is linked by a ferry service to the rest of the district), the town of Portugal Cove–St. Philip's, the St. Thomas part of the town of Paradise, and the watershed area along Thorburn Road. The district was considered fairly safe for the Progressive Conservative Party until Liberal Fred Hutton won a by-election on January 30, 2024.

The riding was created in 1985 as Mount Scio-Bell Island out of parts of Harbour Main-Bell Island, St. John's East Extern, Mount Scio, Conception Bay South and a small part of Mount Pearl.

Bell Island had its own electoral district from 1956 to 1975 when it became part of Harbour Main-Bell Island. It was part of Harbour Main-Bell Island prior to 1956 as well.
