The family of Nursultan Nazarbayev, 1st President of Kazakhstan (1991–2019) and Security Council Chairman (1991–2022), includes members prominent in politics, business, entertainment, education, art, and others. Described to have collected wealth and power through nepotism and corruption, the family is the most influential one in the country. The family is sometimes referred to as the Nazarbayev dynasty.

The family was especially influential during the entirety of the Nazarbayev presidency and the first years of the Tokayev presidency. After the 2022 Kazakh unrest, the dynasty, including Nazarbayev himself, who lost the title Elbasy, and other connected members of the family, lost their government positions and titles. Radio Free Europe, however, reported that the family still has political influence to this day.

In 2024, Timur and Dinara Kulibayev, Dariga and Nurbol Nazarbayev and Nurali Aliyev were among the 75 wealthiest people in Kazakhstan.
