George Shkinin (born 7 March 1983, Tbilisi, Georgia) also known as Goga, Georgi, and Giorgi is a Georgian rugby union footballer. He was first capped for Georgia in 2004, and has played for his country 21 times since then. Playing at wing, Shkinin plays for the Blois club in France. He has scored five tries playing for Georgia. He is in the Georgia squad for the 2007 Rugby World Cup, and scored Georgia's only try in their 14–10 loss to Ireland national rugby union team on 15 September 2007. His try came from an intercepted pass off Peter Stringer. Despite Georgia being unable to upset Ireland, planet-rugby.com named Shkinin their man of the match for "his big-hearted efforts in attack and defence."
