Kamys-Samar Lakes (Kazakh: Қамыс-Самар көлдері; Russian: Камыш-Самарские озёра) is a lake group in Zhanakala District, West Kazakhstan Region, Kazakhstan.[1]

There used to be fisheries in some of the lakes in the past, at the time of the Kazakh SSR, but in present times they are mostly dry or have become intermittent lakes.[2]
