Jure Bilić (12 September 1922 – 27 January 2006) was a Croatian and Yugoslav communist politician.

Bilić was born in Makarska in 1922. In 1941 he joined the Yugoslav Partisans and became a member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia.

After the World War II, Bilić was the State Secretary for Agriculture in Croatia. His ascendancy to high-ranking positions in the Party began in the early 1970s, after the downfall of the Croatian Spring movement. He served as President of the Parliament of the Socialist Republic of Croatia (1978–1982), Chairman of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Croatia (1982–1983) and member of the Presidency of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (1983–1986).

A party committee vote removed him from office in 1986.[1]
