Avtomobilist Karaganda (Kazakh: Автомобилист Қарағанды) was an ice hockey team in Karaganda, Kazakhstan. They were active from 1966–1996 and from 1998–2000.

History

The club was founded in 1966 as Stroitel Karaganda (Russian: Строитель Караганда) and played at first in the Vtoraya Liga, the third level of Soviet ice hockey. They won the Vtoraya Liga as Avtomobilist Karaganda in 1980, and were promoted to the Pervaya Liga.
