The Kirghiz Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic was an autonomous republic within the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic that existed from 26 August 1920 until 15 June 1925 on the territory of the Kazakh Khanate, when it took the name of Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic,^[1] based on the autonym Kazakh. Despite the name, it incorporated no part of the future Kyrgyz SSR or modern-day Kyrgyzstan.

On 15 May 1925 the Kara-Kirghiz Autonomous Oblast was renamed Kirghiz Autonomous Oblast and later transformed into Kirghiz Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic.
