Balotești is a commune in the northwestern part of Ilfov County, Romania. Two small rivers flow through this location: Cociovaliştea 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.[citation needed]

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