thumb|'White House' in Briltil
Briltil (; ) is a village in the municipality of Westerkwartier in the province of Groningen in the Netherlands, founded around 1600. The name of the village comes from a drawbridge () over the Hoendiep to the region of the Bril ( means 'swampy land') northwest of the bridge. As of 2021, Briltil had a population of 490. Since about 2004, the village has consisted of a new housing estate on the east side of the Hoendiep and a small number of historic buildings and a marina on the west side. The village of Zuidhorn is right next to Briltil.
