Carmelo Di Bella (January 30, 1921 – September 9, 1992) was an Italian football player and manager.

Di Bella spent the vast majority of his career in Sicily where he was a prominent figure in the footballing scene, especially in relation to the island's most successful clubs; Catania and Palermo.

Di Bella, a left wing, started his professional career for his native city team Catania.
