Kazakhsky Uyezd (Russian: Казахский уезд) was one of the uyezds (administrative units) of Elisabethpol Governorate of the Russian Empire and then of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic with its center in Qazax from 1868 until its formal abolition in 1929 by Soviet authorities.
Elisabethpol Governorate consisted of Yelizavetpolsky, Nukhisky, Shusha, Zangezur, Kazakhsky, Areshsky, Dzhebrailsky and Dzhavanshirsky Uyezds. Kazakh uyezd was located in the northwestern part of Elisabethpol Governorate bordering Georgian and Erivan governorates on the north and northwest and Eslisabethpol uyezd of Elisapethpol Governorate on the east. The area of the uyezd was 6024.2 square verst. The southwestern part of the uyezd is mountainous, the northeastern part was mainly made up of lowlands. Two-thirds of uyezd was covered by Shah-dagh mountain range of Lesser Caucasus which split Erivan with Elisabethpol governorate extending from south west towards northeast, and then meeting the Kura River in the lowlands.
