Bela Hubbard (April 23, 1814 – June 13, 1896) was a 19th-century naturalist, geologist, writer, historian, surveyor, explorer, lawyer, real estate dealer, lumberman and civic leader of early Detroit, Michigan.
Hubbard is noted as one of the pioneer geologists of Michigan starting with expeditions undertaken, while in his twenties, with Michigan's geologist Douglass Houghton.
These early expeditions explored the salt springs of Michigan's Grand and Saginaw river valleys.
Later, Hubbard surveyed many of the regions around Lake Superior, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
