The Bells is a 1911 Australian feature-length silent film directed by W. J. Lincoln. It is based on the famous stage melodrama by Erckmann-Chatrian, adapted by Leopold Lewis, which in turn had been adapted for the Australian stage by W. J. Lincoln before he made it into a film.
It is today considered a lost film.
It was one of several films Lincoln made with the Tait family, who had produced The Story of the Kelly Gang. According to Lincoln's obituary in The Bulletin it was one of Lincoln's best films.
