Irakli Revishvili (Georgian: ირაკლი რევიშვილი; born November 3, 1989) is a Georgian swimmer, who specialized in freestyle events.[1] He represented his nation Georgia at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and has currently owned two Georgian national records in both the 200 and 400 m freestyle.[2] Revishvili also trained for the national swimming team under the tutelage of head coach and 2004 Olympian Zurab Khomasuridze.

Revishvili received a wild card invitation from FINA to compete as a lone Georgian male swimmer in the 200 m freestyle at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.[2][3] He pulled away from a small field of swimmers to take a effortless victory in the opening heat with a scintillating 1:53.60, but failed to advance further to the semifinals, finishing fifty-third overall in the prelims.[4]
