Baillif (French pronunciation: [bajif]; Guadeloupean Creole: Bayif) is a commune of Guadeloupe, an overseas region and department of France located in the Lesser Antilles.

In 1637, Governor De L'Olive conceded a parcel of land to the Dominican friars, from the Fathers' river to that of Baillif, and today these mark out the boundary of the town.

Under the leadership of Father Labat, several fortresses were built in Baillif to protect the region from English invasion.

Today, Baillif is often considered to be a suburb of the prefecture of Guadeloupe, Basse-Terre, and with its small regional airfield, it acts as a gateway to the islands in the south.

Baillif is situated on the south-west coast of Basse-Terre Island and it covers an area of 24.3 km2 (9.4 sq mi).

The capital of Guadeloupe, Basse-Terre, is south of Baillif, and Vieux-Habitants, a village, is located north.
