Kazbegi (Georgian: ყაზბეგის მუნიციპალიტეტი) is a district of Georgia, in the region of Mtskheta-Mtianeti in east-north Georgia.
The main settlement is Stepantsminda, accounting for about half of the total population.
Kazbegi Municipality is situated in the upper valley of the Terek River, which goes on to traverse the Georgia–Russia border to the north and eventually drains into the Caspian Sea in Dagestan, Russian Federation. By the conventional definition of the Europe-Asia boundary as following the watershed of the Greater Caucasus, Kazbegi Municipality is geographically a European part of Georgia.
