Madzhalis (Russian: Маджалис; Dargwa: Мажалис) is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative center of Kaytagsky District of the Republic of Dagestan, Russia. Population: 6,815 (2010 Census).
During the Russian Empire, the settlement was the administrative capital of the Kaytago-Tabasaransky Okrug.

It was founded by the utsmi Sultan-Ahmad (who died in 1588); previously, it had been a place where people had gathered for tribal meetings. It was later succeeded as Qaytaq capital by Bashli sometime in the 18th century.
