This is a list of all cities and settlements in Kazakhstan with a population of at least fifty thousand people as of official population estimates in 2023. The three largest cities are Almaty, Astana (the national capital), and Shymkent; as cities of republican significance, they are administratively independent and belong to no region. Two of the listed settlements, Zashagan and Beyneu, are officially designated as villages rather than cities.
