Herman S. "Hi" Bell (July 16, 1897 - June 7, 1949) was a former professional baseball player. He was a right-handed pitcher over parts of eight seasons (1924, 1926-1927, 1929-1930, 1932-1934) with the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Giants. For his career, he compiled a 32-34 record in 221 appearances, most as a relief pitcher, with an 3.69 earned run average and 191 strikeouts. Bell was a member of three National League pennant winners (1926, 1930 & 1933), winning two World Series with the 1926 Cardinals and the 1933 Giants. In World Series play, he recorded no decisions in three appearances, with a 4.50 earned run average and 1 strikeout. On July 19, 1924, Bell became the last pitcher in Major League history to start and win both ends of a double header.

Bell was born in Mount Sherman, Kentucky and later died in Glendale, California at the age of 51.
