Adishi Glacier is a valley glacier in the central Greater Caucasus Mountain Range, in the Svaneti region of Georgia, on the southern slopes of the Caucasus. It is 9 kilometers long with a surface area of 12.9 square kilometers, its tongue descending to 2,298 meters above sea level, and it is fed by runoff and ice from the adjacent glaciers of Tetnuldi, Gistola and Lakutsia. The glacier is the source of the river Adishchala and takes its name from the nearby village of Adishi.
