The Lesser Nogai Horde, also called Kazyev Horde was a nomadic feudal state formation of the Nogai peoples on the right bank of the Volga and in the Azov region, separated in the second half of the 16th century from the Nogai Horde with the invasion of the Kalmyk Khanate

The lesser Nogais were nominally subject to the Crimean Khanate. They were divided into the following groups: Budjak (from the Danube to the Dniester), Yedisan (from the Dniester to the Bug), Jamboyluk (Bug to Crimea), Yedickul (north of Crimea) and Kuban. In particular, the Yedisans are mentioned as a distinct group, and in various locations

The horde was also known simply as Nogai Tatars, not to be confused with the North Nogai Horde.
