The Sagintayev Government (Kazakh: Сағынтаев Үкіметі, romanized: Sağyntaev Ükımetı; Russian: Правительство Сагинтаева) was the 10th composition of the Government of Kazakhstan under the leadership of Prime Minister Bakhytzhan Sagintayev. It was formed after Sagintayev's predecessor, Karim Massimov was appointed as a head of the National Security Committee on 8 September 2016.[1] President Nursultan Nazarbayev nominated Sagintayev, who served as the First Deputy under Massimov's government to be the new prime minister.[2] He was confirmed by the Parliament the following day on 9 September.[3] Some speculated that Sagintayev was a close ally to Nazarbayev's daughter Dariga, and the reason for a cabinet reshuffle was to make way for Nazarbayev's succession after the neighboring country of Uzbekistan faced a political uncertainty over President Islam Karimov's death which occurred on 2 September.[4]

On 21 February 2019, as a result of growing public dismay, President Nazarbayev dismissed Sagintayev and instead appointed Askar Mamin as the acting prime minister who was approved by the Parliament on 25 February, thus forming a new government.[5][6]
