The Bela Session is an extended play (EP) by the English post-punk band Bauhaus.

[1][4] The tracklist consists of the original version of group's debut single, "Bela Lugosi's Dead", as well as "Harry" (originally released in 1982 as a B-side to "Kick in the Eye"), and three previously unreleased tracks: "Some Faces", "Bite My Hip" and "Boys (Original Version)".

[2][4] Philip Sherburne of Pitchfork gave The Bela Session a score of 7.9 out of 10, praising "Bela Lugosi's Dead" as a unique song, and a "more vivid" improvement compared to the version of the song featured on Bauhaus' 1982 live album Press the Eject and Give Me the Tape.

[3] Sherburne was less complimentary towards the other tracks on the EP, referring to "Harry" as "largely a curio" and writing that "'Some Faces' might as well be the work of a pub-rock band"; he summarised: "While it's nice to have these songs available, they serve largely as reminders of how far Bauhaus soon traveled from their origins—and how distinct 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' still sounds.

"[3] In January 2019, Martin Aston of The Vinyl Factory included The Bela Session on his list of "10 essential Bauhaus records".
