Bóly (; ) is a town in Baranya County, Hungary. Today Hungarian, the town was historically home to a large Danube Swabian population.

== History == Until the end of World War II, the town's inhabitants were Danube Swabians, also locally known as Stifolder, because their ancestors arrived in the 17th and 18th centuries from the German district of Fulda. Most of the former German settlers were expelled to Allied-occupied Germany and Allied-occupied Austria in 1945–1948, under the Potsdam Agreement.
