Bonče (Бонче) is a village in the Prilep municipality, in North Macedonia. It used to be part of the former municipality of Topolčani.

In September 2007 archeological excavations revealed a tomb of what is believed to be the burial site of a Macedonian ruler dating 4th century BC.[2] Fragmented ancient Macedonian shields were discovered carrying the inscription of the "ruler Demetrius".[3]
