Beskol (Kazakh: Бескөл, Besköl) is a village[citation needed] in Jetisu Region of south-eastern Kazakhstan.

The primary employer is the railway station, which is important both as a passenger and freight stop – trains travel through here to both Almaty and Astana, and west to Urumqi in China.

The Kazakhstan-China Oil pipeline will pass behind Beskol, with work clearly taking place.

Beskol lies at the feet of the northern end of Zhungar Alatau mountain range, a formerly contentious border zone with China that requires special permits to explore properly.
