Lyapis Trubetskoy (Russian: Ляпис Трубецкой, Belarusian: Ляпіс Трубяцкі) is a Belarusian rock band. It was named after the comical hero from Ilya Ilf's and Yevgeny Petrov's novel "The Twelve Chairs", poet and potboiler Nikifor Lyapis, who used the pseudonym Trubetskoy.

On 17 March 2014 frontman Siarhei Mikhalok announced that the band would be dissolved. Accordingly on 31 August the band ceased to exist and split into two ensambles: Brutto and Trubetskoy.

The group resumed its activities in 2022 against the background of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
