Ust-Bolsheretsk () is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative center of Ust-Bolsheretsky District, Kamchatka Krai, Russia. Population:
== History == The village was founded in an area known as Khaikova Pad' (), situated near where the Khaikovskiy Stream meets the Amchagacha River. In 1910, work commenced on a radio telegraph line along the pre-existing country road, and by 1911, a post and telegraph station, along with several residences for line maintenance workers and the western coast fisheries supervision service, were constructed within Ust-Bolsheretsk. The regional newspaper "Udarnik" was first published in 1932. In 1953, there were intentions to initiate the construction of a railway connecting these settlements; however, following Joseph Stalin's death, these plans were abandoned on 21 March, 1953. The dirt road from Petropavlovsk to Ust-Bolsheretsk was opened in 1972.
