The Kazakh–Nogai War of 1568–1569 was a military conflict between the Kazakh Khanate and the Nogai Horde, supported by the Tsardom of Russia. The Kazakhs were able to annex the Ural and Irtysh Rivers, but retreated after Russian forces arrived to the city of Astrakhan. The Kazakh northern border was consolidated after these events.

The conflict took place when the Nogai Horde experienced hardships, which allowed the current Kazakh Khan, Haqnazar to lead a series of campaigns against the Nogai Horde.[1]

In the Autumn of 1568, Haqnazar Khan invaded the Nogai Horde in the east. And the Russian ambassador, E. Maltsev reported in November of the same year that Haqnazar, along with Shigai Khan and Jalym Sultan had defeated the Nogai Horde.[2][3] Following this, the Kazakhs were advancing towards the city of Astrakhan.[4] The Nogai Horde soon received the support of the Russian Tsardom, which allowed the Nogai army to defeat the Kazakhs and kill a prince among them.[5] However, Tasmagabetov does not report any victory from the Nogai Horde.[6] The Kazakh forces withdrew from Astrakhan in the Spring of 1569.[3]
