Almaty Botanical Garden (Kazakh: Алматы ботаникалық бағы) is the main botanical garden of Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Owned by the Republican "Institute of Botany and Phytointroduction" of the Committee of Science of the Ministry of Education and Science, it was founded in 1932 on an area of 108 hectares. In 1967, it was given the status of a research institution. In 2006, the Botanical Garden was included in the list of "Specially Protected Natural Areas of the Republic of Kazakhstan" (SPNA), which made it possible to stop the further sale of the garden land for construction.
