Bilje (Hungarian: Bellye) is a municipality in the Baranja region of Osijek-Baranja County, in north-eastern Croatia. It is 5 km northeast of Osijek, on the edge of the Kopački Rit nature park. Prince Eugene of Savoy (1663-1736) constructed a hunting lodge here, Bilje Castle, which later became property of the Teschen branch of the Habsburg family.
