The Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan of the 7th convocation (;) was a convocation of the Parliament of Kazakhstan from 2021 to 2023.

The term convened at its first session on 15 January, following the 2021 legislative election to the lower house Mäjilis, previously held on 10 January. A total of 98 deputies of the Mäjilis were elected based on the party-list proportional representation, while the 9 seats were reserved to the members elected by the Assembly of People on 11 January.[1] Nurlan Nigmatulin, the parliamentary leader of the Nur Otan party group, was unanimously elected as the chairman of the Mäjilis while Balaim Kesebaeva and Pavel Kazantsev were elected as deputy chairmen.[2] For the first time, the Mäjilis was responsible for the formation of the government following the 2017 amendment which saw the parliamentary approval of PM Asqar Mamin.[3]

The 7th Kazakh Parliament functioned before being dissolved in January 2023 by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev ahead of the 2023 legislative election, making it one of the shortest-lived convocation in Kazakhstan's legislative history.[4]
