Bellevue is a provincial electoral district for the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. As of 2003 it had 7310 eligible voters.

The district combines traditional fishing communities such as Southern Harbour and Arnold's Cove with the heavy industry of Come By Chance (an oil refinery) and Sunnyside (near the Bull Arm offshore fabrication site). It is also one of the few districts to have elected a member of the Reform Liberal Party - a breakoff bloc of the provincial Liberals led by ex-Liberal leader Joey Smallwood in the 1970s.
