Polatsk Voblast or Polotsk Oblast (Belarusian: Полацкая вобласць, Russian: Полацкая Облать) was an administrative division in Soviet Belarus. It was created on September 20, 1944. It included territories of eastern Polesia and consisted of 15 raions. The administrative centre was Polatsk.

On January 8, 1954 the Voblast was liquidated and became parts of Vitsebsk and Maladzyechna Voblasts. Thus Polatsk was part of former one.
