Bédée (; ; Gallo: Bedésc) is a commune in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine in Brittany. It is located in the northwest of France and is labeled as a village étape since 2009.

==Etymology== The name of Bédée may come from the Gaulish "Bedo" (= pit) or "betu" (= birch) and the suffix -iscum. The transcription of the name has changed: Bedesc in 1120, Bidisco in 1122 Bedensi in 1152, Bédec in 1187 and Bédiscum in 1330. It is from the 15th century that the name of Bédée appeared in its actual writing.
