Belarus–Georgia relations are foreign relations between Belarus and Georgia. Before 1918, both countries were part of the Russian Empire and both were part of the USSR until 1991. Both countries established diplomatic relations in 1992.

Belarus has an embassy in Tbilisi. Georgia has an embassy in Minsk.

Ethnic Georgians in Belarus number exactly 2,400 as of the country's 2009 census, and live mainly in the capital Minsk. They mainly came during the Soviet era as labor migrants, or were displaced during Soviet relocation.^[1] They are keeping their cultural heritage, speak Georgian language and belong to Georgian Orthodox Church.
