Bilhorod Kyivskyi (Ukrainian: Білгород-Київський) or Belgorod (Russian: Белгород) was a city-castle in Kievan Rus', on the right bank of the Irpin River. Established in 991, it stood on the roadway connecting Kyiv with the cities of Zhytomyr and Halych, but was destroyed by the Tatars. The remains of the city are located near the present-day village of Bilohorodka in Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine.
