Tiku Kobiashvili (Georgian: თიკუ კობიაშვილი; * 20. November 2002 in Tbilisi) is a Georgian photographer and filmmaker. She graduated with a bachelor in audiovisual arts at the Georgian Institute of Public Affairs (GIPA). Later she was trained as a camera woman.

Her film Shinagani gazapkhulebis q’vaviloba (Inner Blooming Springs)[1] premiered at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival as part of the Forum Special section[2] and positively acclaimed. In the film, Kobiashvili documents, from a personal perspective, the 2024–2025 Georgian protests against the so-called “Foreign Agents law" by capturing her own and her friends’ involvement in the rallies. The film was very postively acclaimed[3][4][5] and highlighted as a contribution of a new generation of Georgian filmmakers[6]. The newspaper Georgia Today referred to Inner Blooming Springs as a “testament to the power of film as a cultural force”[7].

As a photographer Kobiashvili documents the cultural scene of her home town.
