Minsk upland (Belarusian: Мінскае ўзвышша) is an upland located in the central part of Belarus. It is the highest part of Belarus.
Separate parts with their own geological history and appearance are distinguished on the Minsk upland - the Łahojsk, Ivianiec, Radaškavičy and Pleščanicy uplands. According to new research, the Vałožyn upland, which is traditionally regarded as the eastern wing of the Ašmiany upland, should be included in the Minsk upland.
Geography position
Minsk upland occupies the north-western and central parts of the Minsk Region. It is bordered by the Ašmiany upland in the west, the Narač-Vialejka lowland and the Vierchniebiarezinskaja plain in the northwest and north, the Vorša upland in the east, the Centralnabiarezinskaja plain in the southeast, and the Vierchnianiomanskaja plain in the south and southwest.

The area of the highlands is about 7.3 thousand km2.
