Bussière-Badil (French pronunciation: [bysjɛʁ badil]; Occitan: Bussiera Badiu) is a commune in the Dordogne department in southwestern France, part of the Parc naturel régional Périgord Limousin.

The place is first mentioned in 768 when the Order of Saint Benedict built a priory there. The Romanesque art-style church was built in the 12th century.
