Bilasuvar (Azerbaijani : Biləsuvar) is a city in and the capital of the Bilasuvar District of Azerbaijan. The area's considerable agricultural potential depends on irrigation. [1] It is situated near one of the country's four border crossings with Iran.

It has been said that the city's name was called "Pileh-Swar", which meant ‘Elephant-riding Person’ in Persian language, a reference to an early emir. [2] In Azerbaijani the name means ‘Pure Waterfalls‘. [2]

The city is located in the Central Aran region. Biləsuvar was divided into two parts in 1828 with the Turkmanchay Treaty. The similarly-named Iranian city of Bileh Savar is located right across the border.
