Kobdilj (Italian: Cobidil San Gregorio) is a village south of Štanjel in the Municipality of Komen in the Littoral region of Slovenia next to the border with Italy.[2]

There is an astronomical observatory in the settlement. It was built between 2005 and 2008 and put in regular remote operation in January 2008. Most of the research time in the observatory is dedicated to the monitoring variable stars.[3]

The local church is dedicated to Saint Gregory and belongs to the Parish of Štanjel.[4]
