Malkhaz Arziani (15 August 1964 – 22 June 2022) was a Georgian footballer. He is the father of Zurab Arziani.

Malkhaz Arziani spent eight seasons in the Soviet Top League as a leftback between 1982 and 1990, followed by four successive seasons in Umaglesi Liga at Dinamo Tbilisi.[1]

He played his only cap for Georgia against Azerbaijan in September 1992.[2] But at that time Azerbaijan was not a member of FIFA nor UEFA, so the match does not regard as official match.
