Pilas is a municipality in the province of Seville, Spain, in the western area of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. Its location within the province implies its close proximity to other villages (such as El Rocío) or beaches (such as Matalascañas).

The first known human settlements date back to the Celtiberian period. During the Roman domination it belonged to the jurisdiction of Seville. It was called Pilias at the time of Al-Andalus, which is when it began to grow around a "Qubba", which still exists. In the surroundings it also had small Muslim farms. The tile factories located near the Alcarayón stream would later develop into the present-day village.
