Beka Gotsiridze (born 21 February 1988 in Tbilisi, Georgian SSR, Soviet Union) is a former Georgian footballer. The last club he played for was Gareji Sagarejo.

He began his career at FC Zestafoni, in Georgia's Umaglesi Liga before his transfer to FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk on a €1 million deal in January 2009.[1]

In June 2009, he was involved in a car accident while driving to Tbilisi, Georgia from a nearby village. His spleen had to be removed due to his injuries.[2]

His health condition did not allow Gotsiridze to play in highly ambitious clubs any longer. Although later he was a squad member of several Georgian teams as such Dila Gori, Merani Martvili, Racha Ambrolauri and Gareji Sagarejo, the career of this talented player ended prematurely.

As of the summer 2022, Gotsiridze lived in the United States.[3]
