Kamchybek Tashiev (born 27 September 1968) is a Kyrgyzstani politician who was head of the political party Ata-Zhurt until its merger with the Respublika party in 2014.[1][2] He is currently co-chairman of Respublika–Ata Zhurt. He is a citizen of Kyrgyzstan and father of four sons. From 1987 to 1989 he served in the Soviet Army. In 1992 Tashiev graduated from Tomsk State University with a degree in chemical engineering. In 1999 he graduated from Kyrgyz National University with a degree in law.

Following his party's success in the 2010 Kyrgyz parliamentary election, on 23 October, Tashiev's home was burglarized. He later stated to Al Jazeera that "they broke in like bandits... I think they intended to shoot me. I believe they tried to eliminate me - the forces that want to cancel election results and impose a state of emergency. I know for sure, GSNB [security services] was behind these actions."[3]
