The Kazakhstan Open is a men's professional golf tournament on the Challenge Tour, the official developmental tour of the European Tour. First played in 2005, it was held at the Nurtau Golf Club in Almaty, Kazakhstan for the first four editions before moving to the Zhailjau Golf Resort, also in Almaty. It then alternated between Nurtau (2011, 2013, 2015) and Zhailjau (2012, 2014, 2016).

In 2016 the Kazakhstan Open had a prize fund of €450,000, which made it the richest event on the tour.
