Bziza (Arabic: بزيزا) is a village in Koura District of Lebanon. There is a well-preserved Roman temple with three of its frontal portico columns still standing. In Byzantine times a two-apse church known as Our Lady of the Columns was built within its walls.

The population is primarily but not exclusively Maronite with some Eastern and Greek Orthodox residents. The population of the town was 348 in 1953.
