thumbnail|Coat of arms of the Swedish Bielke family. Bielke is the name of an ancient and powerful Swedish noble family, originally from Småland.
== History == The family was first mentioned in the 13th century. It is the second-oldest such family still in existence after Natt och Dag. The comital family branch, descended from the first Count Nils Bielke af Åkerö (1644–1716), is still extant, while the baronial branch became extinct in the male line with the death of Johan Ture Bielke in 1792.
