Gotse Delchev (Bulgarian: Гоце Делчев), is a town in Blagoevgrad Province of Bulgaria with a population of 23,573.
The town was renamed after the Bulgarian revolutionary Gotse (Georgi) Nikolov Delchev. It had hitherto been called Nevrokop (Bulgarian: Неврокоп, Greek: Νευροκόπι, Nevrokópi, Nevrekop (Turkish)).
Nearby are the remains of a walled city established by the Romans in the 2nd century AD to celebrate victories over the Dacians. The town was called Nikopolis ad Nestrum. There has been archaeological work on the site, which ceased due to lack of funds around 1986.
There is a hospital for endocrine surgery, named Simbol na nadezhdata (Символ на надеждата) (translated sign of hope), established with the help of the Union of Free Evangelic Churches in Germany.
