Bell Post Hill is a residential suburb of Geelong, Victoria, Australia.
The origin of the suburb's name is thought to be from a lookout or warning bell on a post or forked tree situated on the hill overlooking Corio Bay and the Moorabool river known as Morongo estate. [2] The first recorded use of this bell was 1837 during a conflict with the local Aborigines.
The town has an Australian Rules football team competing in the Geelong & District Football League.
