    The Kazakhstan Open is a men's professional golf tournament on the Challenge Tour, the official developmental tour of the PGA 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.

    In 2007 the Kazakhstan Open has a prize fund of €330,000, which made it the second richest event on the tour after the Open de Saint-Omer, which is also an official money European Tour event. As of 2008, it is the only Challenge Tour event in the former Soviet Union, with the Russian Open, which was the first, having been promoted to the main European Tour.
