Bello ( Spanish pronunciation: [ˈbeʎo], [ˈbeʝo]) is a city and municipality in Antioquia Department, Colombia and a suburb of Medellín, the department capital. Bello is part of the Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley in the department of Antioquia. It is bordered on the north by the municipality of San Pedro de los Milagros, on the east by the municipality of Copacabana, on the south by the municipality of Medellín and on the west by the municipalities of Medellín and San Jerónimo.

It is the center of the development in the north of the Aburrá Valley (Spanish: Valle de Aburrá), and as a member of the Metropolitan Area of Aburrá Valley, or AMVA (Spanish: Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá), some public services are regulated for the Metropolitan Area.
