The Shagalaly[1] (Kazakh: Шағалалы, Şağalaly), formerly known as Chaglinka,[2] is a river of northern Kazakhstan. It is 234 kilometres (145 mi)[3] long, and has a drainage basin of 9,220 square kilometres (3,560 sq mi). The river flows through the territory of Akmola and North Kazakhstan regions.[4]

The river originates from the Mount Ak-Cheku between knolls in Dzhilandy and Zerenda mountains. It flows northward along a wide valley. It flows into the southern end of the lake Shaglyteniz. The city Kokshetau is located on the river.

The name "Shagalaly" in translation from Kazakh means "area where there are many seagulls"
