Disilitsa (Bulgarian: Дисилица [diˈsilit͡sɐ]) is a 2,700 m high peak in the Pirin mountain range, south-western Bulgaria. It is located on the Polezhan secondary ridge at the end of a stem between Ushitsite and the summit of Kaymakchal (2,753 m) in the south. The slopes of Disilitsa are steep and rocky; they are covered in mountain pine (Pinus mugo) at lower altitude. To the north there is a panoramic view towards the wooded slopes of the Yulen Nature Reserve and the Razlog Valley. To the north-west are located the two Perleshki Lakes and the cirque to the south-east hosts the Pleshivoto Lake, one of the highest in Pirin. The peak is built up of granite.
