Ganarjiis Mukhuri (Georgian: განარჯიის მუხური, also known as Ganmukhuri) is a village in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region of western Georgia, in the Zugdidi municipality. It is situated at the border with Abkhazia (a breakaway region of Georgia) and the city of Zugdidi. The village area is located by the Black Sea and on the right bank of the Enguri River, with the village center six kilometers from the sea. Within the administrative division of the municipality, Ganmukhuri is not part of a community (თემი, temi), but is an so called independent village (სოფელი, sopeli).

The Enguri River largely shapes the administrative border between Abkhazia and Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti. Ganmukhuri is one of the few Georgian-controlled villages along the right bank of the Enguri. The village is geographically wedged between the river and the Abkhazian border. This border, upheld by Russian controlled troops, hinders interaction of the village with the Georgian communities on the other side of this border, such as Pitchori and Otobaia. There are two vehicular bridges across the river to the rest of Georgia, one to Anaklia, near the sea, and the other at the eastern end of the village towards Zugdidi.
