Ghazi ibn Urak (also Kazy Mirza or Ghazi Bey) was a 16th-century Nogai nobleman and founder of the Lesser Nogai Horde. Nephew of Ismail Beg, he established an independent ulus on the Volga in 1552 and expanded his influence through raids, alliances with Crimean and Kabardian rulers, and participation in wars. He became a bey in 1569 and was killed in 1576 during a campaign against the Kabardians.
