Bell International Corp. was an American distributor based in New York. In 1959–60, it distributed the Bell Kamra, a fancy combination of a transistor radio and a subminiature camera, name variant of the Ramera manufactured in Japan by Kowa. It certainly also distributed the Bell 16, a standalone version of the camera contained in the Ramera.

The company is unrelated to Bell & Howell of Chicago or Bell Manufacturing Co. of Des Plaines, IL (makers of the 16mm Bell cine camera), but nothing else is known about it.
