Грузинская Православная Апостольская Церковь (официально: Грузинская Апостольская Автокефальная Православная Церковь; груз. საქართველოს მართლმადიდებელი სამოციქულო ეკლესია) — автокефальная поместная православная церковь, имеющая шестое место в диптихах славянских поместных Церквей и девятое в диптихах древних Восточных Патриархатов.[22][23][24] Одна из древнейших христианских церквей в мире.[25][26][27][28][29][30] Юрисдикция распространяется на территорию Грузии и на всех грузин, где бы они ни проживали.[31] По преданию, основанному на древней грузинской рукописи, Грузия является апостольским жребием Божьей Матери.[32][33] В 324 году трудами святой равноапостольной Нины христианство стало государственной религией Грузии. Церковная организация находилась в пределах Антиохийской Церкви.[34] Сложным является вопрос получения грузинской церковью автокефалии. По мнению историка грузинской церкви, священника Кирилла Цинцадзе, Грузинская Церковь пользовалась фактической самостоятелностью со времен царя Мириана, но полную автокефалию получила лишь в XI веке от Собора созванного Антиохийским Патриархом Петром III
