Kazakhstan competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's sixth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics in the post-Soviet era.
Two Kazakh archers qualified each for both the men's and women's individual recurve by obtaining one of the three Olympic places available from the 2015 Asian Archery Championships in Bangkok, Thailand.
Kazakh athletes have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following athletics events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event):
Kazakhstan has entered twelve boxers (10 men and 2 women) to compete in each of the following weight classes into the Olympic boxing tournament. Berik Abdrakhmanov and two-time Olympian Birzhan Zhakypov were the first Kazakhs to be selected to the Olympic team with a top two finish in the AIBA Pro Boxing series, while Vasiliy Levit did so in the World Series of Boxing.
2012 Olympian Daniyar Yeleussinov was the only Kazakh boxer qualifying through the 2015 World Championships. Meanwhile, seven further boxers (Yeraliyev, Sattibayev, Zhussupov, Alimkhanuly, Niyazymbetov, Dychko, and Shakimova) had claimed their Olympic spots at the 2016 Asia & Oceania Qualification Tournament in Qian'an, China.
