Georgia–United Kingdom relations refers to the current and historical relations between the United Kingdom and Georgia. Both countries maintain embassies in the respective capitals. Formal diplomatic relations between Georgia and the UK can be traced back to at least 1919, during the First Georgian Republic. After the defeat of German Empire, Georgia's ally, in WWI, parts of Georgia came under British administration and British troops were also stationed in Tiflis to stave off the Bolshevik invasion. This lasted until 1920, when Britain left due to a variety of geopolitical factors.
