Belorusy i rynok (Russian: Белорусы и рынок, pronounced [bʲɛləˈrusɨ ɪ ˈrʲnək]) is the main business weekly newspaper published in Belarus.

The newspaper was founded in 1990 under the name Belorusskij rynok (Белорусский рынок, The Belarusian Market) and was one of the first private media in Belarus.

In 2005 the newspaper had to change its name following a decree of president Lukashenka that forbid usage of the words National and Belarusian in names of organisations and newspapers.

Current chief editor is Viačasłaŭ Chadasoŭski.

The newspaper is published mainly in Russian language.

In December 2022, Belorusy i rynok ceased to produce its printed version; the website continued to function.[1]

In April 2023, the newspaper's director Konstantin Zolotykh, who had been arrested in May 2022, was sentenced to four years in prison.[1]
