Tommy Bell (born 11 November 1992) is a retired English rugby union player who most recently played for Tokyo Gas RFC in Japan. Prior to that his last club in Europe has been Benetton Rugby[1]

He began his career with Sale Sharks in the Aviva Premiership, but moved to London Wasps for the 2012/2013 season, playing alongside his brother Chris Bell.[2]

On 6 June 2014, Bell made his move to the RFU Championship as he signed a contract with Jersey.[3] However, after a month with Jersey, Bell was granted early release from his contract since a top flight club made an approach to him where he would officially move to Leicester Tigers.[4]

On 17 February 2016, Bell agreed to a long-term deal with London Irish from the 2016–17 season.[5]

He joined RFU Championship side Ealing Trailfinders for the 2019–20 season.[6] In 2022 he played for Benetton in United Rugby Championship.[1][7] A move to Japan followed to play for Tokyo Gas before Bell retired from the professional game in 2024 returning to the UK and joining London Welsh Amateur playing at level 5 of the RFU pyramid.

After playing for England U18, from 2011 to 2012 Bell was named in the England U20 squad.
