Bogdan Yakovlevich Belsky (Russian: Богдан Яковлевич Бельский) (died 1611) was a Russian statesman and a close associate of Ivan the Terrible. Bogdan was not related to the great Gedyminid princely family of the same name. It is believed that he became welcome at the royal court owing to his kinship with Malyuta Skuratov. His name was first mentioned in 1571, when Belsky was the tsar's bodyguard (rynda) during his military campaigns. He would soon become the tsar's closest associate and would even sleep in his chamber.
