Nurbakyt Moldakhmetuly Tengizbayev (Нурбакыт Молдахметулы Тенгизбаев, born 10 April 1983 in Usharal, Kazakhstan) is a Kazakh wrestler who won the Silver medal in the Men's Greco-Roman 60 kg in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.[1]

Originally, Nurbakyt Tengizbayev was awarded the bronze medal. However, on 17 November 2016, the IOC disqualified Vitaliy Rahimov from the 2008 Olympic Games, stripped his Olympic silver medal, and struck his results from the record for failing a drugs test in a re-analysis of his doping sample from 2008. As a result, Nurbakyt Tengizbayev was awarded the silver medal.[2]
