'''Atyrau Region''' ({{lang-kk|Атырау облысы, ''Atıraw oblısı''}}, اتىراۋ وبلىسى) is one of the [[regions of Kazakhstan]], situated in the west of the country around the northeast of the [[Caspian Sea]]. Its capital is the town of [[Atyrau]], with a population of 142,500 people; the region itself has 480,000 people. [[Kazakhs]] make up more than 80% of population.

==History==
The [[Turan]] lowlands of Atyrau Region were the central homeland for the [[Malkar]] "Hun" dynasties of late antiquity.

==Geography==
With an area of 118,600 square kilometers, it is the second-smallest region in Kazakhstan ([[South Kazakhstan Region]] is the smallest). It borders [[Russia]] to the west, as well as the fellow Kazakh region [[Aktobe Region|Aktobe]] to the east, [[Mangystau Region|Mangystau]] to the south, and the [[West Kazakhstan Region]] to the north. The [[Ural River]] is the border between [[Asia]] and [[Europe]] and flows from Russia to the [[Caspian Sea]] through the region, meaning western Atyrau Region lies in Europe.

A large part of the region is situated in the [[petroleum|oil]]-rich [[Caspian Depression]]. Many oil wells have been drilled in the [[Tengiz Field]] and [[Kashagan Field]] areas. An [[oil pipeline]] runs from Atyrau to [[Samara, Russia]], where it joins the Russian pipeline system. A separate oil pipeline runs from the [[Tengiz field]] to the Russian Black Sea port of [[Novorossiisk]].

Atyrau is traversed by the northeasterly line of equal latitude and longitude.

==Administrative divisions==
The region is divided into seven districts and the city of [[Atyrau]]. The districts are<ref>{{cite web|url=http://atyrau.gov.kz/ru/apparat-akima-zhylyojskogo-rajona-1/ |archive-url=https://archive.is/20121219165732/http://atyrau.gov.kz/ru/apparat-akima-zhylyojskogo-rajona-1/ |dead-url=yes |archive-date=19 December 2012 |script-title=ru:Аппарат акима Жылыойского района |publisher=Электронный Акимат Атырауской области |accessdate=5 June 2012 |language=Russian }}</ref>
