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

It was a municipality of its own before the fusion of the Belgian municipalities in 1977.

It houses the base of Fédération des Patros, a youth organisation.[1]

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