Igor Ivanovich (or Ihor Ivanovych) Belanov (Ukrainian: Ігор Іванович Беланов; born 25 September 1960) is a retired Ukrainian footballer who played as an attacking midfielder or second striker.

He made a name for himself at Dynamo Kyiv, winning five major titles and being named European Footballer of the Year in 1986. He then spent six years in Germany with two teams, with little success.

He was included in the Times's list of the top 100 World Cup footballers of all time. Belanov represented the Soviet Union at one World Cup and one European Championship.

In 2011, Igor Belanov, together with Oleg Blohin and Vitaliy Starukhin were named as the "legends of Ukrainian football" at the Victory of Football awards.
