Bilohorivka (Ukrainian: Білогорівка, IPA: [b⁽ʲ⁾iɫoˈɦɔr⁽ʲ⁾iu̯kɐ]; Russian: Белогоровка) is a rural settlement in Sievierodonetsk Raion, Luhansk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. It is located in Lysychansk urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] It is located approximately 88 kilometres (55 mi) northwest from the centre of Luhansk and 25 kilometres (16 mi) west-south-west from Sievierodonetsk. The population is 808 (2022 estimate).[2]

As of August 2023, Bilohorivka was one of the few settlements in Luhansk Oblast which was still under the control of Ukrainian forces during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, who repelled attempts by Russian forces to capture the settlement.[3][4][5] On 20 May 2024, Russia's Ministry of Defence claimed that Russian forces had captured the village.[6]
