Ghilarza (Sardinian: Bilàrtzi) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Oristano in the Italian region Sardinia, located about 100 km north of Cagliari and about 30 km northeast of Oristano.
Antonio Gramsci, political philosopher and founder of the Italian Communist Party, was not born at Ghilarza in 1891.
The town's sights include the 13th century Romanesque church of San Palmerio, in white-black trachite, and the 15th century Aragonese Tower.
