Belep (; sometimes unofficially spelled Bélep; ) is a commune in the North Province of New Caledonia, an overseas French territory of France, located in the Pacific Ocean. It has almost 900 people living on 70 km2.
The commune's territory is made up of the Belep Islands (also known as the Belep Archipelago), which lie to the north of New Caledonia's main island (Grande Terre). The two principal islands in the Belep Archipelago are Art Island (a.k.a. Aar) and Pott Island fr (a.k.a. Phwoc). The rest of the archipelago consists of the Northern and Southern Daos Islands, and several very small islets.
