List of cities and towns in Belarus

This is a list of cities and towns in Belarus. Neither the Belarusian nor Russian languages have equivalent words to "city" and "town" in English. The word horad (горад) or gorod (город) is used for both.

Overview
Belarusian legislation uses a three-level hierarchy of town classifications.

According to the Law under May 5, 1998, the categories of the most developed urban localities in Belarus are as follows:
 * capital — Minsk;
 * city of regional subordinance (горад абласнога падпарадкавання; город областного подчинения) — urban locality with a population of not less than 50,000 people; it has its own body of self-government, known as Council of Deputies (Савет дэпутатаў; совет депутатов) and an executive committee (выканаўчы камітэт; исполнительный комитет), which stand on the level with these of a raion (раён).
 * city of district subordinance (горад раённага падпарадкавання; город районного подчинения) — urban locality with a population of more than 6,000 people; it may have its own body of self-government (Савет дэпутатаў; совет депутатов) and an executive committee (выканаўчы камітэт; исполнительный комитет), which belong to the same level as these of rural councils and of s.c. haradski pasiolak (гарадскі пасёлак; городской посёлок) (a type of a smaller urban locality).

This division was inherited by the contemporary Republic of Belarus from the Byelorussian SSR and introduced in 1938.

As of 2020, 115 settlements had the status of a city/town. Among them:
 * 10 cities of regional subordinance;
 * 104 towns of district subordinance;
 * Minsk — the capital of the country.
