Bakyt Ergeshevich Torobayev (Kyrgyz: Бакыт Эргешевич Төрөбаев, Russian: Бакыт Эргешевич Торобаев, born 5 April 1973) is a Kyrgyz politician who has been the leader of the Onuguu-Progress party since 2013.
After working in various managerial roles, Torobayev was elected as a deputy for the Supreme Council of Kyrgyzstan in the 2007 parliamentary election, joining Kurmanbek Bakiyev's Ak Zhol party. After the 2010 Kyrgyz revolution in which Bakiyev was overthrown, he joined the Respublika Party of Kyrgyzstan, but clashed with party leader Omurbek Babanov, leading him to join Onuguu-Progress.
Torobayev was also an official candidate for the 2017 presidential election in Kyrgyzstan, until he withdrew nine days before the start of the election.
