Bled, also known by the Geman name Veldes and, in older sources, Feldes, is a town on Lake Bled in the Upper Carniolan region of northwestern Slovenia. It is the administrative seat of the Municipality of Bled. It is most notable as a popular tourist destination in the Upper Carniola region and in Slovenia as a whole, attracting visitors from abroad too. A settlement area since Mesolithic times, the present-day locality probably arose about 600 during the Slavic settlement of the Eastern Alps.

Bled is known for the glacial Lake Bled, which makes it a major tourist attraction. Naturopath Arnold Rikli from Switzerland contributed significantly to the development of Bled as a health resort in the second half of the 19th century. Due to its mild climate, Bled has been visited by aristocratic guests from all across the world. A small island in the middle of the lake is home to the Assumption of Mary Pilgrimage Church.
