The Ahchipsou were a Sadz (Abkhaz-Abazin) tribe, that lived on Caucasus Major, near the modern border of Krasnodar Krai and Abkhazia. They lived at the upper Mzymta, and its inflow Achipse, modern Krasnaya Polyana, Adlersky City District, Sochi, Russia. The Ahchipsou were dominated by the clan of Kazılbeg Azaguyipa.

The Ahchipsou were conquered in May 1864, showing the last resistance during the Russian-Circassian War. After the war they were largely massacred and the survivors fled to the Ottoman Empire (see Muhajirism).
