Josephine Bell (8 December 1897 – 1987) was an English physician and author.

She was born Doris Bell Collier in Manchester. Between 1910 and 1916 she studied at Godolphin School, then trained at Newnham College, Cambridge until 1919. At the University College Hospital in London she was granted M.R.C.S. and L.R.C.P. in 1922, and a M.B. B.S. in 1924.

In 1923 she married Dr. Norman Dyer Ball, and the couple had a son and three daughters. From 1927 until 1935 the couple practiced medicine in Greenwich and London. Her husband died in 1936 and she moved to Guildford, Surrey. From 1954–62 she was a member of the management committee of St. Luke's Hospital.

Using her pen name she wrote numerous detective novels beginning in 1936. Many of her works used a medical background. Her early books featured the fictional character Dr. David Wintringham who worked at Research Hospital in London as a junior assistant physician. She helped found the Crime Writers' Association in 1953 and served as chair during 1959–60.
