Belopol'skiy is a lunar crater that is located on the far side of the Moon. It lies to the west of Houzeau crater, and northeast of Strömgren crater. Just to the northwest of Belopol'skiy is the Ioffe crater.

The rim of Belopol'skiy is somewhat eroded, particularly at the southern end where several small craterlets have worn away the rim edge. There is a slight intrusion in the northwestern rim where the ground has been modified by the Loffe crater. The crater interior is relatively level, and marked with several tiny craterlets.
