C. Gordon Bell was an extremely influential American computer scientist. Among his most important works were his contributions to DEC's two most successful computer families, the PDP-11 and the VAX lines.

He was at DEC for two periods, 1960-1966 and 1972-1983, ending up as DEC's Vice President of Research & Development, with a spell in between as an associate professor at Carnegie-Mellon University from 1966-1978, teaching computer engineering.

He was influential in the creation of the Computer History Museum.
