The Mäjilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan of the 7th convocation (Template:Lang-kk; Template:Lang-ru) was a convocation of the legislative branch of Mäjilis, the lower house of the Parliament of Kazakhstan.

The term convened at its first session on 15 January 2021, following 2021 legislative election previously held on 10 January 2021. A total of 98 deputies of the Mäjilis were elected based on the party-list proportional representation, while the 9 seats were reserved to the members elected by the Assembly of People on 11 January.[1] Nurlan Nigmatulin, the parliamentary leader of the Nur Otan party group, was unanimously elected as the chairman of the Mäjilis while Balaim Kesebaeva and Pavel Kazantsev were elected as deputy chairmen.[2] For the first time, the Mäjilis was responsible for the formation of the government following the 2017 amendment which saw the parliamentary approval of PM Asqar Mamin.[3]

The 7th Mäjilis functioned before being dissolved in January 2023 by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev ahead of the 2023 legislative election, making it one of the shortest legislative term in Kazakhstan's history.[4]
