Khelvachauri ( ) is a neighborhood of Batumi in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara in the southwest of Georgia, southeast of the regional capital Batumi and situated on the right bank of the Chorokhi River. Between 1968 and 2011 it was a daba (urban-type settlement), but due to municipal border changes by far most of the town was absorbed into the city municipality of Batumi and Khelvachauri was downgraded to a village.
The territorial transfer also included the locations of the administrative centers of the Municipality of Khelvachauri. This means that Khelvachauri municipality is governed since 2011 from the territory of another municipality, Batumi. The remaining part of Khelvachauri that was left within the Khelvachauri Municipality falls administratively under the Sharabidze community (თემი, temi) of the municipality. Since then, roughly 1,100 people live in the village, which name is derived from the Khelvachadze family. The part annexed by Batumi has a center function for the surrounding villages with administrative, educational and health institutions, and businesses and remains the governing center for Khelvachauri Municipality.
