The Football Cup of the Georgian SSR () was a playoff republican competition in association football which was held in the Georgian SSR from 1944 to 1989.
Tbilisi tram and trolleybus department team known as TTU were the only four-time winners of the competition. Guria and the Makharadze team under three different names lifted the cup three times each. The latter managed to reach the finals eleven times in total.
Shadrevani-83 were the last winners before Georgia broke away from the Soviet Football Federation and formed its own competitions. Starting from 1990, the Football Federation annually organizes the national cup.
The tournament did not include those clubs who played in first three tiers of Soviet Football and participated in the Soviet Cup, most notably Dinamo Tbilisi, who twice won the main cup competition of the Soviet Union in the late 1970s.
