Giovanni Battista Bellé (4 October 1776 - 30 June 1844) was an Italian priest who became Bishop of Mantua, based in the city of Mantua, Italy.

Giovanni Battista Bellé was born in Lodi, Lombardy, on 4 October 1776. He was ordained a priest on 28 February 1801.[1] At the time of his appointment he was dean of the parish of Lodi Cathedral.[2] He was selected Bishop of Mantova on 20 February 1835. He was confirmed bishop on 24 July 1835, and ordained two days later.[1]
