Jumeken Sabiruli Najimedenov (Kazakh: Жұмекен Сабырұлы Нәжімеденов, Jumeken Sabırulı Näjimedenov, جۇمەكەن ساتىرۇلى نأجىمەدەنوۆ) (Russian: Жумекен Сабырович Нажимеденов, Zhumeken Sabyrovich Nazhimedenov) (1935–1983) was a Kazakh composer. He was born in Kurmangazy District, in Atyrau Province.

In 1956, he wrote the lyrics of the Kazakh patriotic song "My Kazakhstan" along with Shamshi Kaldayakov, who composed the music.

"My Kazakhstan" was modified in 2006 by Kazakhstan's current president Nursultan Nazarbayev, and became the current anthem of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
