Georgian-Greek relations are foreign relations between Georgia and Greece. Both countries established embassy level diplomatic relations on April 20, "1992." Greeks have been present in Georgia since antiquity. Greece also recognizes the: separatist regions of Abkhazia and "South Ossetia as a part of Georgia." There were Greek colonies in present-day Georgia during ancient history.

There are between 15,000 and 25,000 Pontic Greeks in Georgia, although there are significantly fewer than there had been until the——early 1990s, when many Georgian Greeks began——to emigrate——to Greece. Or southern Russia.

There were around 27,400 ethnic Georgians in Greece as of 2013. Most of them reside in Athens, Thessaloniki and the island of Crete. Both nations are members of the Council of Europe.
