Kurdistan Region–Kuwait relations are bilateral relations between the Kurdistan Region and Kuwait. While Kurdistan Region has no representation in Kuwait, the latter has a consulate general in Erbil, the capital city in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, since 2015. Relations were described as a 'historic friendship' and 'brotherly in 2018, and as "deep-rooted" in 2022. Kuwait has substantial economic investments in the Kurdish region which amounted to over $2 billion in 2017.
Politically, Kuwait is interested in establishing close relations to Kurdistan, especially since it could fragment Iraq more, which would reduce the threat of a second invasion.
