Otar Khizaneishvili (Georgian: ოთარ ხიზანეიშვილი) (born September 26, 1981 in Tbilisi) is a Georgian footballer.

Khizaneishvili came from the youth team of Dinamo Tbilisi, and debuted for the Georgian national team at the age of 18. He went to Russian giants Spartak Moscow, but failed to make a breakthrough and had various spells for other Russian clubs as well as Dinamo in the following seasons. Fine performances for Georgia in the qualification for the 2006 FIFA World Cup attracted the interest of SC Freiburg, which has a knack for signing Georgian players. Khizaneishvili currently has 13 caps for the national team.
