18 (Kazakh: №18 сайлау округі, romanized: №18 sailau okrugı; Russian: Избирательный округ №18) is a single-mandate territorial constituency in Kazakhstan, represented in the lower chamber Mäjilis of the Parliament.
18 was formed for the 2004 legislative election as a result of redistribution originally within the boundaries of Almaty Region, and Erasyl Abilqasymov served as deputy from the constituency.

18 was reestablished by the Central Election Commission in the territory of Karaganda Region, which came into effect on 1 January 2023 as a result of the 2022 amendment.
[10][11] The adoption of this amendment marked the reintroduction of a mixed electoral system for electing Mäjilis deputies, with the use of numbered constituencies being reinstated for the first time since 2004.
