thumb|Orrido di Bellano. Bellano (Comasco: ) is a comune (municipality) and small town on the eastern shore of Lake Como in the Province of Lecco in the Italian region Lombardy, located at northern outlet of the Valsassina.
== Geography == Bellano extends from the shores of Lake Como up the slopes of the surrounding mountains, incorporating the valley of the Pioverna stream. Since 1 January 2020, the municipality has also included the former Vendrogno area, which lies higher up toward the slopes of Monte Croce di Muggio (1,799 m). A notable natural attraction is the Orrido di Bellano, a deep gorge carved over millions of years by the Pioverna River through rock formations shaped by glacial and fluvial erosion.
