The Kazakhstan motorcycle Grand Prix was a proposed motorcycle race expected to be part of MotoGP at the Sokol International Racetrack in Kazakhstan.[1][2][3]

A five-year contract was agreed and set to start with a scheduled event in 2023. The initial event was cancelled with the announcement naming the reasons as "ongoing homologation works at the circuit, paired with current global operational challenges.[3] The event was not replaced and returned to the calendar in 2024. However in 2024, the event was firstly postponed, then cancelled due to the on-going damages caused by Central Asian floods near to the circuit, and other incomplete homologation works, with the event being replaced with the Emilia Romagna motorcycle Grand Prix.[4][5] The race was also not included in the 2025 calendar, so it is now considered as a proposed race.
