Bitely is an unincorporated community in Lilley Township, within Newaygo County, Michigan, in the United States.

It was a station on the Chicago and West Michigan Railroad (later the Pere Marquette, then the Chesapeake and Ohio, now Marquette Rail) in 1889, and given a post office on September 13, 1889, with Archer D. Martin as its first postmaster.

It was named for Steven Bitely, who built a sawmill there, but due to a typographical error, the post office was initially spelled as Biteley.

[3] The Bitely Homecoming parade is held the third Saturday of every July.
