Edillilie is a small town on Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It is on the Tod Highway and Eyre Peninsula Railway north of Port Lincoln.

The town was named after Edillilie Creek.[2] The railway station was originally named Mortlock Siding.[8] It still has bulk grain silos,[9] however passenger service ended many years ago. The grain silos are serviced by Viterra.[10]

Edillilie is located within the federal Division of Grey, the state electoral district of Flinders and the local government area of the District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula.[2][4][3]
