Lenino (Belarusian Ле́ніна) is a large village in Belarus. Administratively a part of Horki Raion of Mahilyow Voblast. It is notable for the battlefield of the 1943 Battle of Lenino.
Historically until 1918 the village had been known as Romanovo. Since the Truce of Andrusovo of 1697 it was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
On October 12, 1943 a major battle took place to the north of the village, later to be known by the name of battle of Lenino, even though the village itself was not targeted by any of the sides.
In 1968 a Polish-Soviet Brotherhood Memorial was opened in the village, marking the battlefield. In 1989 a Polish War Cemetery was created.
