Belovite-(La) ({{chem2|NaLaSr3(PO4)3F}}) is the lanthanum analogue of belovite-(Ce). It is a member in the belovite group being a subgroup of the apatite group.

Belovite-(La) was first described in 1996, it inherited the name belovite.

and named for Nikolai Belov. Two type localities are given in the Khibiny Mountains in Murmansk Oblast, Russia.
