Balotești is a commune in the northwestern part of Ilfov County, Muntenia, Romania. Two small rivers flow through this location: Cociovaliștea and Vlăsia. It is composed of three villages: Balotești, Dumbrăveni, and Săftica.

The commune is named after an 18th-century boyar, Balotă, who owned local lands.

Stadionul Central is a multi-use stadium in the commune; it is used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of CS Balotești.

On 31 March 1995, a TAROM Romanian Airbus A310 crashed near Balotești, leaving 60 dead (see Tarom Flight 371).
