Babstovo (Russian: Бабстово) is a rural locality (a selo) in Leninsky District of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Russia.

[1] Due to its proximity to the China–Russia border, Babstovo is the location of base of the 69th Covering Brigade of the Russian Ground Forces.

[2] The village was founded in 1863 as the stanitsa of Babstovskoye by Amur Cossack settlers of the 1st Company of the Amur Foot Cossack Battalion from Mikhailo-Semyonovskoye and Kukelevsky stanitsas in the same area, according to an 1893 account.

By 1894 it included 55 houses, a chapel, a school with 28 students, and water and windmills.
