Otar Davitovich Khizaneishvili (born 26 September 1981 in Tbilisi) is a Georgian footballer who last played for FC Anzhi Makhachkala.

Khizaneishvili came from the youth team of Dinamo Tbilisi, and debuted for the Georgian national team at the age of 18. He went to Russian giants Spartak Moscow, but failed to make a breakthrough and had various spells for other Russian clubs as well as Dinamo in the following seasons. Fine performances for Georgia in the qualification for the 2006 FIFA World Cup attracted the interest of SC Freiburg, which has a knack for signing Georgian players. Khizaneishvili currently has 19 caps for the national team.

He scored his first goal for Freiburg in a 3-1 win against Rot-Weiss Essen on 28 January 2007.^[1]
