The bell pepper, also known as sweet pepper, is a cultivar group of the species Capsicum annuum. These plants produce fruits in different colors, including red, yellow, orange, green, white, and purple.

Peppers are native to Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. Seeds were imported to Spain in 1493 and then spread through Europe and Asia. The mild bell pepper cultivar was developed in the 1920s, in Szeged, Hungary.

The name "pepper" was given by Europeans when Christopher Columbus brought the plant back to Europe. At that time, black pepper, from the unrelated plant Piper Nigrum, was a highly prized condiment. The name "pepper" was at that time applied in Europe to all known spices with a hot and pungent taste and was thus extended to genus Capsicum when it was introduced from the Americas. The most commonly used alternative name of the plant family, chile, is of Mexican origin.

The terms "bell pepper" (US, Canada), "pepper" or "sweet pepper" (UK, Ireland, Malaysia), and "capsicum" (Australia, India, New Zealand and Pakistan) are often used for any of the large bell-shaped peppers, regardless of their color. The vegetable is simply referred to as a "pepper", or additionally by color ("green pepper" or red, yellow, orange, purple, brown, black).

The most common colors of bell peppers are green, yellow, orange and red. More rarely, brown, white, lavender, and dark purple peppers can be seen, depending on the variety. Most typically, unripe fruits are green or, less commonly, pale yellow or purple. Red bell peppers are simply ripened green peppers.

Like the tomato, bell peppers are botanical fruits but culinary vegetables.
