Biel is a village in East Lothian, Scotland, UK, to the south of Dunbar, off the B6370 road.

The word 'biel', 'beil' or 'bel' means "shelter", as in Belton, Belhaven, Bilsdean, or as in Robert Lauder of Beilmouth.

Archaeologists from Glasgow University found the remains of a small farmstead over 2000 years old, possibly with a palisade surrounding a roundhouse.

The Biel estate was originally owned by the Earls of Dunbar, then by Robert Lauder of The Bass.

The present Biel House is a 16th-century three-storey listed building, formerly owned by the Earls of Belhaven.
