"Submarine Bells" is an album by New Zealand group The Chills released in 1990. This was the band's first album on a major label, as Martin Phillips signed to Slash Records, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Records, to release the album in the USA.

The album is often acclaimed as The Chills' most diverse piece of work, with the aptly named "Heavenly Pop Hit," the surreal "I SOAR" and the combative, harder sound of "Familiarity Breeds Contempt". It is considered to be one of the defining albums of the Dunedin Sound.
