Grigol "Grisha" Uratadze (Georgian: Script error: No such module "Lang".) (10 February 1878 – 12 February 1959) was a Georgian Social Democratic politician, diplomat and author. His name is also spelled Grégoire Ouratadze in a French[1] manner.

Uratadze was born in Atsana in the Ozurget Uyezd (modern Guria).[2]

In 1912, Uratadze, together with Vlasa Mgeladze, was part of the Georgian delegation to Vienna, where Leon Trotsky organized his short-lived union of social democratic factions as an alternative to Lenin's narrow notion of party unity.[3] A close associate of Noe Zhordania, he figured prominently in the development of Menshevism in Georgia and took an active part in the establishment of an independent republic of Georgia[4] in 1918. As a Georgian plenipotentiary in Moscow, he signed a 7 May 7, 1920 treaty with Soviet Russia in which Georgia's independence was de jure recognized. The Red Army invasion of Georgia in 1921 forced him into exile to France,[5] where he authored several monographs and numerous articles on the revolutionary movement in Georgia and the Soviet nationalities policy.
