A member of the Kurultai[a] is a member of parliament and legislator elected by party lists to the Kurultai, the parliament of Kazakhstan. They are often referred to simply as "deputies".

Prior to the 2026 Kazakh constitutional referendum, the country had a bicameral legislature, the Parliament of Kazakhstan, consisting of the Senate and the Mäjilis.

Statutes concerning elections and the rights and duties of deputies are outlined in the Constitution of Kazakhstan.[1] Kazakhstan's parliament has 145 seats. Deputies may be appointed to various parliamentary positions such as chairperson (speaker) of the Kurultai or a head of a committee.
