On 26 April 2021, it was announced that Refaelov would move to Belgian First Division A side Anderlecht on 1 July, signing a two-year contract.{{cite web|url=https://ghanasoccernet.com/official-anderlecht-sign-refaelov-from-antwerp|title=Anderlecht sign REFAELOV from Antwerp|website=Ghana Soccernet|date=26 April 2021|accessdate=21 June 2021}} On 5 December 2021, Refaelov scored a brace in a 3–2 home win against Zulte Waregem.[https://m.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20211205_96328176 Anderlecht sleept dankzij twee goals van Lior Refaelov wel zege binnen tegen Zulte Waregem], standaard.be (dutch), 5 December 2021
Refaelov was a regular starter under Vincent Kompany as Anderlecht finished third in the Israeli's first season at the club for 2021–22, scoring 19 goals and supplying six assists in all competitions in the process, Refaelov's best-ever goals tally for a single season.
But continuing boardroom upheaval and the re-emergence as a force of neighbours Union St-Gilloise, who had beaten Anderlecht a record four times in the league campaign, resulting in Kompany being let go at the end of the season, moving to Burnley. Replacements Felice Mazzu and Brian Riemer failed to make waves domestically with Anderlecht slumping to 11th in 2022–23, their lowest finish since 1937.
Despite reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Conference League, only losing to AZ Alkmaar on penalties in the last-eight, Refaelov was released at the end of the 2022–23 season.{{cite news|url=https://sporza.be/nl/2023/04/27/geen-nieuw-contract-anderlecht-en-lior-refaelov-gaan-uit-elkaar~1682612226958/|title=Geen nieuw contract: Anderlecht en Lior Refaelov gaan uit elkaar (No new contract: Anderlecht and Lior Refaelov are separating)|website=Sporza|date=27 April 2023|accessdate=27 April 2023|language=nl}}{{cite news|url=https://www.hln.be/anderlecht/lior-refaelov-en-anderlecht-na-dit-seizoen-uit-elkaar-club-moet-aantal-beslissingen-nemen-in-functie-van-toekomststrategie~ae1d60e7/|title=Lior Refaelov en Anderlecht na dit seizoen uit elkaar: "Club moet aantal beslissingen nemen in functie van toekomststrategie" (Lior Refaelov and Anderlecht split up after this season: "Club has to make a number of decisions in function of future strategy")|website=Het Laatste Nieuws|date=27 April 2023|accessdate=27 April 2023|language=nl}}{{cite web|url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20230427_96220735|title=Waarom het vertrek van modelprof en creatieveling Lior Refaelov zowel een goeie zaak, als een slechte zaak is voor Anderlecht (Why the departure of model pro and creative Lior Refaelov is both a good thing and a bad thing for Anderlecht)|website=Het Nieuwsblad|date=27 April 2023|accessdate=27 April 2023}}
