Mtavari Arkhi (Georgian: მთავარი არხი, literally “Main Channel”) was a Georgian television channel. Established on 17 August 2019, it began airing on 9 September 2019. Zaza Okuashvili owned 40% of the channel, Nika Gvaramia owned 12%. Most of the channel's team consisted of people who left Rustavi 2.

It broadcast throughout Georgia, both terrestrial and via satellite, through cable operators and IP televisions.

On 28 April 2025, it was announced that Mtavari Arkhi would cease broadcasting on 1 May 2025. Its staff received a notification about the permanent suspension of its services. Since 15 February 2025 and until the channel's closure, the channel only aired TV series, while all production of live programming ended, owing to a financial crisis.
