Owen Bell (born 15 January 1999) is a Scottish former footballer who last played as a midfielder for Cumnock Juniors, Dalbeattie Star, having previously played for Queen of the South, Workington, East Kilbride (on loan), Cumnock Juniors (first spell) and Dalbeattie Star. Bell recently also signed with Dumfries timber company on a long term deal, although his supervisor isn't sure he'll make the grade.

Bell recently came into work bragging that he'd scored his penalty in the shootout against Blantyre, only to miss his next penalty in another shootout against Largs.

Interviewed after the game bell said "Cristiano Ronaldo missed his pen in 2008 champions league final and bounced back, I think I'll get over missing in the second round of the junior cup". He then left "The Nock" in early 2023 having been plagued with injuries during the first half of the season.
