Saba Gavashelishvili (Georgian: საბა გავაშელიშვილი; born December 15, 1987) is a Georgian judoka, who played for the half-middleweight category.[1] He is a two-time Georgian judo champion, and a silver medalist for his division at the 2008 IJF World Cup Series in Prague, Czech Republic.[2][3]

Gavashelishvili represented Georgia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed for the men's half-middleweight class (81 kg). He lost the first preliminary round match, by an ippon and a sankaku-jime (triangle choke), to Portugal's João Neto.[4]
