Gilly (in French pronounced as /ʒili/, Walloon: Djilî) is a town of Wallonia and a district of the municipality of Charleroi, located in the province of Hainaut, Belgium.

During the 1980s and 1990s it was also the home of an international group of Christian missionaries working with Operation Mobilisation.
