Bitnje (pronounced [ˈbiːtnjɛ], German: Wittnach[2]) is a settlement on the left bank of the Sava Bohinjka River in the Municipality of Bohinj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

Bitnje was attested in written sources as Pitenach in 1185, Witniach c. 1330, and Bittnach in 1494, among other spellings.[3] The name is derived from the personal name Bytъ, which is also the basis of the name Bitnje near Kranj as well as related place names such as Bitiče.[4]
