Blufi is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Palermo in the Italian region Sicily, located about 70 kilometres (43 mi) southeast of Palermo.

Blufi borders the following municipalities: Alimena, Bompietro, Gangi, Petralia Soprana, Petralia Sottana, Resuttano.

The village is situated on a hill on the southern slope of the Madonie mountain range, with an altitude between 850 and 500 meters above sea level.

The municipal area extends for 20 km2 around the capital center and includes the administrative zone of Casalgiordano, between the municipalities of Gangi and Alimena.

The other hamlets, on the other hand, are located near the capital center: Alleri, Lupi and Ferrarello are separated from it by the Nocilla stream while Calabrò, Nero and Giaia Inferiore almost form a continuation along the road that goes up to the Petralia municipalities.

The territory is crossed by the Southern Imera river and the Nocilla and Oliva streams and is mostly used for agricultural and artisan activities.
