Balgoij or Balgoy is a village in Gelderland, Netherlands, near the river Meuse. It belongs to the Wijchen municipality.

Until 1923, Balgoij was a separate municipality. In 1958, the hamlet of Keent [nl] was transferred to Oss in North Brabant due to the canalisation of the Maas.

The village was first mentioned in 1172 as Balgoie, and means swelling of land near water. In 1840, it was home to 406 people.
