Beitillu (Arabic: بيت إللو) is a Palestinian town located in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate in the northern West Bank, 19 kilometers Northwest of Ramallah. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, it had a population of 3,465 in 2017.[2]

Presently much of the villagers' traditional land, springs, gardens with olive and fig trees, near the Israeli settlement of Nachliel cannot be accessed, because their way is barred by Israeli soldiers or settlers, often with dogs.[4]

Beitillu, together with Deir 'Ammar and Jammala, form the new town of Al-Ittihad.[1]
