Bilibili (stylized in all lowercase), nicknamed BSite (Chinese: B站, romanized: B zhàn), is a Chinese online video sharing platform based in Shanghai. Users can upload, view, and comment on videos, including through danmu (弹幕, "bullet curtain"), a system of overlaid on-screen comments. The platform originally focused on animation, comics, and games, but later expanded into documentaries, variety shows, and original programming.

Bilibili hosts videos with various themes, including anime, music, dance, science and technology, movies, drama, fashion, and video games, but it is also known for its extensive kuso-style parodies by subculturalcontent creators. Since the mid-2010s, Bilibili began to expand beyond its original audience, a niche market that focused on animation, comics, and games (ACG), and has become a well-known Chinese over-the-top streaming platform serving videos on demand.

Bilibili is known for its scrolling danmu commenting system. Bilibili also provides a live-streaming service where the audience can interact with streamers and games, mostly ACG-themed mobile games, such as Azur Lane and the Chinese version of Fate/Grand Order.
