Kengir (Kazakh: Кеңгір, Keñgır) is a village in central Kazakhstan.

During the Soviet era, a prison labor camp of the Steplag division of Gulag in Kazakhstan was set up adjacent to it.

The camp, which was situated near the central-Kazakhstan city of Dzhezkazgan, near the Kara-Kengir River, and held approximately 5,200[1] prisoners, was the scene of a notable prisoner uprising in the summer of 1954.

After the camp was closed, a large automotive depot was placed there.
