Blon (Belarusian: Блонь; Russian: Блонь; Polish: Błoń) is an agrotown in Pukhavichy District, Minsk Region, Belarus. It serves as the administrative center of Blon selsoviet.^[1]

Historically Blon (Błoń) belonged to Igumensky Uyezd in the Russian Empire, which was earlier part of Minsk Powiat [pl] in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. It is associated with Jesuit priest and poet Józef Baka, who established there a Jesuit monastery in about 1745 and a wooden church of John the Baptist around 1748. After his death, it was passed to the Jesuit order, and after the suppression of the Jesuits the properties were seized by a Poniński and later passed to Ossowskis of Dołęga coat of arms.^[2] In 1863, they were sequestrated as a punishment for taking part in the January Uprising, and in 1868, they were sold to a civil official, Bończ-Osmołowski (Иосиф Александрович Бонч-Осмоловский), from which lands the properties of włościans (pl:włościanin, a land-owning peasant) were separated, leaving about 2,250 morgen of arable land.^[3]
