North Kazakhstan Region, Administrative region in northern Kazakhstan.

The North Kazakhstan Region stretches across 98,040 square kilometers of steppes and flatlands, bordering Russia and three other Kazakh regions.

The region formed in 1936 from sections of the Karaganda region, later expanding in 1997 when it incorporated districts from the former Kokchetav region.

The population of North Kazakhstan Region includes Russian, Kazakh, Ukrainian, and German communities, with Christianity practiced by 55% and Islam by 39%.

The Ishim River flows through the region, providing water resources for agriculture and connecting multiple settlements before continuing into Russian territory.

The region received the Order of Lenin in 1966 for agricultural accomplishments and maintains thirteen administrative districts with Petropavl as its capital.
