Kökshetaū, city, northern Kazakhstan. It lies along the southern edge of the Esil (Ishim) Steppe.

Kökshetaü was founded in 1824 as an administrative outpost when the Russians extended their control over the Kazaks. It became a district administrative centre in 1868 and a regional centre in 1944, but its greatest expansion occurred in the 1960s following the campaign to open virgin lands in Kazakhstan to agriculture and the construction of important new factories in the region. It is now a substantial industrial centre and the junction of the Trans-Kazakhstan and Middle Siberian railways and has a teacher-training institute and several museums. Pop. (2006 est.) 129,885.
