FC Tskhinvali is a defunct Georgian football club, which in mid-2010s spent four seasons in the top tier of the national league.
Despite the name, due to the enduring Georgian–Ossetian conflict they were unable to host their opponents in the city of Tskhinvali, playing home games instead in Georgian-controlled areas, mostly in Gori, Tbilisi and Rustavi.
In early 2020, the club was disqualified from Liga 3 after their failure to solve a severe financial crisis.
Several times the club has undergone name changes:
- Spartaki until 1990
- Liakhvi from 1990 to 2003
- Tskhinvali from 2003 to 2007
- Spartaki from 2007 to 2015
- Tskhinvali after 2015
