This is a list of the largest cities and towns in Belarus, including cities with population of over 5000, as assembled by the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus.[1] Neither Belarusian nor Russian have equivalent words to English "city" and "town". The word horad[2] (Belarusian: горад, Russian: город) is used for both. But Belarusian legislature provides the three-level hierarchy.[3]
