Ulytau Region (Kazakh: Ұлытау облысы, romanized: Ūlytau oblysy; Russian: Улытауская область) is a region of Kazakhstan. The administrative center of the region is the city of Jezkazgan. The area split off from Karaganda Region in 2022.
The region's borders roughly correspond to the western half of the old Jezkazgan Region which was liquidated in 1997 and merged with Karaganda Region.
