Georgian Paralympic Committee is the National Paralympic Committee in Georgia for the Paralympic Games movement. It is a non-profit organisation that selects teams, and raises funds to send Georgian competitors to Paralympic events organised by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC).

Shalva Maisuradze is the organization's president.[2][3] Irma Khetsuriani, a member of the Georgian national wheelchair fencing team, works for the Georgian Paralympic Committee as an office manager.[4][5]

The country's NPC was established in 2003.[6] The country would first send competitors to the Paralympic Games in 2008.[7] David Maisuradze was in charge of the organization from 2003 to 2011.[8] In 2011, the organization approved a new charter and Levan Odisharia became the new president.[8][9] In 2013, the NPC signed a memorandum of understanding with the Georgian Ministry of Defence, with the goal of integrating wounded soldiers into the country's Paralympic programs.[7] In 2014, Kenyan wheelchair track and field competitor Anne Walufa Strike visited the Georgian Paralympic Committee as part of the Agitos Foundation's WoMentoring. She was there to mentor Revazishvili, an equestrian competitor.[10]
