Imangali Nurgaliuly Tasmagambetov (Kazakh: Иманғали Нұрғалиұлы Тасмағамбетов; Russian: Имангали Нургалиевич Тасмагамбетов [Imangali Nurgaliyevich Tasmagambetov]) (born December 9, 1956) is the current mayor of Astana, Kazakhstan. From 2004-2008 he served as the mayor of Almaty. Before that he served as the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan from January December 2002 to 11 June 2003.[1]

Tasmaghambetov said he resigned after finding out about the falsification of a positive vote of confidence in his administration, taken on 19 May, 2003. His resignation resulted in the dismissal of all members of his cabinet as instructed in the Constitution of Kazakhstan.[1]

Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev replaced Tasmaghambetov with Pavlodar Oblast Governor Daniyal Akhmetov on 13 June, 2003. Akhmetov pledged to maintain many of Tasmaghambetov's policies.[1]

Imangali Tasmagambetov served as a mayor of the largest city in the Republic of Kazakhstan — Almaty from December 2004 until April 2008. Then he became a mayor of Astana.
