Nomad: The Warrior (Kazakh: Көшпенділер, Köşpendiler) is a 2005 Kazakh historical epic film written and co-produced by Rustam Ibragimbekov and directed by Sergei Bodrov and Ivan Passer.

It was released on March 16, 2007, in North America, distributed by The Weinstein Company. Two versions of the film were shot: one in Kazakh by Temenov for distribution in Kazakhstan and one in English by Passer and Bodrov for distribution worldwide.

The government of Kazakhstan invested $40 million in the film production, making it the most expensive Kazakh film ever made.

The film was Kazakhstan's official entry for Best Foreign Language Film for the 79th Academy Awards, but it did not make the final shortlist. It was also the last film that Passer directed before his death in 2020.
