Velhe (Salentino: Eje) is a town and comune in the Italian province of Lecce in the Apulia region of south-east Italy.

It is bounded by the comuni of Campi Salentina, Carmiano, Leverano, Nardò, Novoli and Salice Salentino.

Francesco Ribezzo thinks that the name Veglie comes from pre-Messapic vel, of Mediterranean origin, meaning "elevation".

A tomb found in Via Novoli in 1957 dates back to Messapic times.

Its main industries are agriculture, which features olive and wine production and manufacturers.
