Pilibhit, city, northern Uttar Pradesh state, northern India. It is located about 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Bareilly, on a tributary of the Ramganga River (itself a tributary of the Ganges [Ganga] River).

Pilibhit is a rail junction and is linked with Bareilly by road. Sugar processing is the largest industry, and there is an active trade in agricultural products, both locally and with Nepal to the east. On the city’s western outskirts is a large 18th-century mosque built by Ḥāfiz Raḥmāt Khan, the city’s founder. Rice, wheat, gram (chickpeas), barley, and sugarcane are grown in the surrounding region. Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (established 2008), just east of the city and adjacent to the Sarda River, is a popular tourist destination. Pop. (2001) 124,245; (2011) 127,988.
