Giorgi Pruidze (born June 2, 1994) is a Georgian rugby union player. His position is wing, and he plays for AIA Kutaisi in the Georgia Championship and the Georgia national team.

Pruidze played for Georgia in the warm-up matches for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, including Georgia's match against Canada.[1] Pruidze was named to Georgia's squad for the 2015 Rugby World Cup,[2] [3] where he played in Georgia's match against Argentina.[4]

Pruidze also played in Georgia's 59–7 win against Germany in February 2016, a match where Pruidze achieved a small amount of notoriety for a misjudged chip that granted underdogs Germany a surprising early lead.[5] Pruidze scored a try in Georgia's 38–9 rout against Romania in March 2016 in front of more than 50,000 fans in Tbilisi.[6] Pruidze was again named to Georgia's squad for the June 2016 tests, where he was named to Georgia's matchday squad against Fiji.[7] [8]
