The Greens Party of Georgia (Georgian: საქართველოს მწვანეთა პარტია, romanized: sakartvelos mts'vaneta p'art'ia) is a political party in Georgia. It is led by Giorgi Gachechiladze.

Its success has varied - having 11 out of 235 members of parliament in 1992 and having been part of the governing coalition in 1995. When it stood independently in 1999 it only received 0.55% of the vote. It stood as part of Eduard Shevardnadze's coalition in the annulled 2003 elections.

In 2012, the party joined the Georgian Dream coalition, electing a single MP in the 2012 election and in the 2016 election, but left the coalition before the 2020 parliamentary election.

The party is a member of the European Green Party and of the Global Greens.
