Karagali (Russian: Карагали, Nogai: Каргалык) is a rural locality (a selo) in Privolzhsky District, Astrakhan Oblast, Russia. The population was 2,734 as of 2017.[2] There are 136 streets.
The official Russian name of the village, Karagali, is a phonetic adaptation of Каргалык (Qarğalıq, 'place with many crows'), the original name used by its predominantly Nogai and Tatar residents. A welcome sign installed by Karagali residents by the road connecting Astrakhan to Kamyzyak displays both names of the village.[3]
Karagali is located 28 km southwest of Nachalovo (the district's administrative centre) by road. Tatarskaya Bashmakovka is the nearest rural locality.[4]
