Bilozerka (Ukrainian: Білозерка, pronounced [b⁽ʲ⁾iloˈzɛrkɐ]) is a rural settlement in Kherson Raion, Kherson Oblast, southern Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Bilozerka settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] It has a population of 9,258 (2022 estimate).[2]

The town's name is derived from the adjacent "White Lake," called Bile ozero (Біле озеро) in Ukrainian. Described as a "fishing-and-farming community," its residents are primarily engaged in agriculture, cattle husbandry, and the cultivation of seeds, gardens, and vineyards.[3]
