Adishi (Adysh, Hadysh; Georgian: ადიში) is a highland village, 2040 m above the sea level, in the region of Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti, Georgia, some 27 km from the town of Mestia. The landscape of the village is dominated by a number of medieval monuments, and the Greater Caucasus mountains. The important cultural sites of Adishi are: the Church of the Deliverer (10th-11th centuries), two churches of St George (12th century), the Church of the Archangel (12th century) and several typical Svanetian towers.

The well-known Adysh Gospels (A. D. 897) was preserved here for centuries.
