{{main|ISO 3166-2}}

'''ISO 3166-2:KZ''' is the entry for [[Kazakhstan]] in [[ISO 3166-2]], part of the [[ISO 3166]] [[standardization|standard]] published by the [[International Organization for Standardization]] (ISO), which defines [[code]]s for the names of the principal [[country subdivision|subdivision]]s (e.g., [[province]]s or [[state (administrative division)|state]]s) of all [[country|countries]] coded in [[ISO 3166-1]].

Currently for Kazakhstan, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for [[Regions of Kazakhstan|2 cities and 14 regions]]. The cities [[Almaty]] and [[Astana]] are the former and current capitals of the country respectively and have special status equal to the regions. [[Baikonur]], a city which also has special status as it is currently leased by [[Russia]], had its code deleted in [[#I-4|Newsletter I-4]].

Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is {{mono|KZ}}, the [[ISO 3166-1 alpha-2]] code of Kazakhstan. The second part is three letters.

==Current codes==
Subdivision names are listed as in the ISO 3166-2 standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA).

[[ISO 639-1]] codes are used to represent subdivision names in the following [[official language|administrative language]]s:
* (kk): [[Kazakh language|Kazakh]]
* (ru): [[Russian language|Russian]] — Romanization system: [[BGN/PCGN romanization of Russian|BGN/PCGN]] 1947, [[GOST 16876-71|GOST]] 1983
