David Michael Bell (born September 14, 1972 in Cincinnati, Ohio) is a Major League Baseball third baseman who is presently a free agent. A member of one of the major leagues' three-generation families, he is the brother of Mike Bell, the son of Buddy Bell, and the grandson of Gus Bell. On April 15, 1998, he hit the first inside-the-park home run in Jacobs Field history, and the first for the Indians since 1989.

As a junior at Moeller High School in Cincinnati, David Bell led his team to a state baseball title.

Bell was traded from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Milwaukee Brewers on July 28, 2006 for minor league pitcher Wilfrido Laureano. The Brewers chose not to re-sign Bell after the 2006 season and is now a free agent.

On March 9, 2007, SI.com reported that Bell showed up on a client list of Applied Pharmacy, a Mobile, Alabama, company raided in connection with a steroid and HGH investigation. Bell told SI.com he received the shipment of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) last April but said the drug was prescribed "for a medical condition," which he declined to disclose.^[1]
