The Aibyn Presidential Regiment of the State Security Service of Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Айбынның Президенттік құрметті қорғау полкі, Aıbynnyń Prezıdenttik qurmetti qorǵaý polki; Russian: Президентский полк "Айбын" Службы государственной охраны Республики Казахстан, Prezidentskiy polk "Aybyn" Sluzhby gosudarstvennoy okhrany Respubliki Kazakhstan) is a ceremonial honor guard of the State Security Service of Kazakhstan. It is comparable to the Kremlin Regiment in Russia and the Azerbaijani National Guard.

When the Republican Guard was formed in 1992, as decreed by the newly elected President of Kazakhstan, it included a Guard of Honor company called the Ceremonial Battalion.[1] This was later renamed the Presidential Regiment, currently commanded by Captain Khasen Omarkhanov.
