Eshtia () is a village in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region of Georgia, within the boundaries of the Ninotsminda Municipality. The village is located at the foot of Mount Abuli. It is mainly populated by Catholic Armenians who migrated from Turkey following the Russo-Turkish War of 1828–1829.
Eshtia is one of the old villages in the historic region of Javakheti. After the Ottomans conquered this region in 1578, it was part of the Akşehir district (nahiye) of the Ahalkalaki province (liva) within the Ottoman administrative system. Its population consisted of 12 Christian households. The heads of these households were men with Georgian names such as Gogicha, Merab, Tevdore, and Zaraspa.
