Tia Bella (born Christina Smith on 25 December 1973 in Newark, New Jersey) is an American porn star. Her exotic, olive-skinned look is the result of her mixture of Greek and Spanish heritage.

While Bella attended Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, she became an exotic dancer to earn extra money. While attending the University she made a name for herself on campus as a member of the Tri-Sigma Sorority.^{[citation needed]} After graduating with a bachelor's degree in history, she took a vacation in Southern California, during which she approached Vivid Entertainment for employment (an unusual move, since the selective adult production company traditionally solicits established actresses). They reportedly offered her a contract on the spot despite her lack of prior adult film experience. Bella signed with the company, joining the ranks of "Vivid Girls"; the bulk of her adult film work was for Vivid from her debut in 1997 until her retirement in 1998. Note that, like many adult stars, footage of her performances was reused in "compilation" films for years after her exit from the industry.

Her men's magazine modeling credits include Hustler (December 1999) and the cover of Club Confidential (January 1999).
