San Felice del Molise (also called "Štifilić" or "Filić") is a small town in the province of Campobasso in the Molise region of Italy, near the Trigno river.

Like Acquaviva Collecroce and Montemitro, San Felice del Molise is home to a community of Molisian Croats, most of whom speak a particular Croatian dialect (they call it simply "naš jezik", or "our language") as well as Italian.
