Pilu is a raga (melodic mode) of Indian classical music. It is mostly used in light-classical forms, like the Khayal, of north Indian classical style. Some performances include shades of tivra Ma (m). In this Raag Komal Nishad (n) is used with Shuddha Dhaivat (D) and Shuddha Nishad (N) is used with Komal Dhaivat (d).

Raga Pilu is a light classical raga or thumri that is quite varied. Like Bhairavi, all the 12 notes can be used in a composition. Since the structure of the raga is left to the artist's style and interpretation, it is sometimes referred to as 'Mishra Pilu' (mixed version of Pilu) which incorporates not only the main notes but grace notes like Komal Re (r), Shuddha Ga (G), Tivra Ma (m), Komal Dha (d), and both Nis (N and n).
