Kishi Tobylzhan (Kazakh: Кіші Тобылжан, "Little Tobylzhan"; Russian: Малый Таволжан, Maly Tavolzhan) is a salt lake in Uspen District, Pavlodar Region, Kazakhstan.[1][2]

The lake lies 44 kilometers (27 mi) west of the Kazakhstan–Russia border, 51 kilometers (32 mi) to the northeast of Pavlodar town and 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) south of Uspenka, the district capital.[3] There is commercial extraction of salt from Maly Tobylzhan and its larger neighbor Ulken Tobylzhan. Some of the salt is exported to Western Siberia.[4]
