Bisjkek er den mest folkerike byen i [[Kirgisistan]] og hadde {{formatnum:937400}} innbyggere i 2015.

Fra byen ble grunnlagt og frem til midten av 1990-årene bestod flertallet av befolkningen av etniske [[russere]] og andre europeiske folkegrupper, blant annet [[ukrainere]] og [[tyskere]]. Ifølge folketellingen gjennomført i 1970 bestod byen av kun 12,3 % [[kirgisere]], mens det var mer enn 80 % europeere i byen. Idag består byen av 66 % kirgisere, mens europeiske folkegrupper utgjør mindre enn 20 % av befolkningen. Til tross for dette er [[russisk]] hovedspråket, mens [[kirgisisk]] blir stadig mindre brukt blant den yngre delen av befolkningen.<ref name="Ferdinand and Komlósi">{{cite web|url=https://www.academia.edu/27246121/Vitality_of_the_Kyrgyz_language_in_Bishkek |title=Ferdinand, S. & Komlósi, F. 2016.
