Lyasny (Belarusian: Лясны, romanized: Liasny; Russian: Лесной, romanized: Lesnoy) is an agrotown in Minsk District, Minsk Region, Belarus. It serves as the administrative center of Barawlyany [be] selsoviet. It is located north of the capital Minsk, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) from its center and about six kilometres (3.7 mi) from the Minsk Ring Road (the approximate boundary of Minsk). In 1999, it had a population of 8,350. As of 2023, it has a population of 21,638.

History

It received the status of agrotown in 2010 according to the "State program for the revival and development of rural areas, for years 2005–2010".

In 2021, Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko suggested to merge Lyasny and the neighboring village of Barawlyany, together with two other adjacent settlements, Vopytny settlement and Lyeskawka village, into a city with a population of about 70,000, but soon the idea was abandoned.
