The 2010 Georgian local elections, (Georgian: საქართველოს ადგილობრივი თვითმმართველობის ორგანოების არჩევნები) were held on 30 May 2010, to elect the councils of local government, sakrebulo, and the Mayor of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. Direct elections for Tbilisi mayor were held for the first time, with the United National Movement receiving 86.4% of the seats nationwide.

In spring 2009, various opposition parties initiated anti-government protests, demanding Mikheil Saakashvili's resignation. During the rallies, Tbilisi Mayor Gigi Ugulava proposed that local elections be held in spring 2010, before the statutory deadline of fall 2010, and that the Tbilisi mayor be directly elected by voters. Ugulava's initiative was approved by the President of Georgia, who addressed the UN General Assembly on 25 September 2009 and expressed his readiness for direct elections of all mayors in 2010.^[1] Nevertheless, on 28 December 2009, the Parliament of Georgia approved legislative changes that only established direct mayoral elections in Tbilisi.^[2] It was also determined that the mayor of Tbilisi would be elected with a 30% threshold.^[3]
