Bellingham Rural District was a rural district of the administrative county of Northumberland, England from 1894 to 1974, covering an area on the west of the county, north of Hexham and Haltwhistle Rural Districts and southwest of Rothbury Rural District. In 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, most of it was merged to form part of the Tynedale District. The council offices were located in the village of Bellingham which was close to being in the centre of the district.
