This article lists political parties and socio-political movements in the partially recognised Republic of Abkhazia. Abkhazia has a multi-party system. Political parties tend to not have stable ideological platforms, and as such, party actions and support tend to depend on the attitudes/beliefs of the party leader.

The current coalition is formed by United Abkhazia, Amtsakhara and Aitaira.

Political parties

There are ten political parties in Abkhazia, two of which are represented in the People's Assembly.

<!--:The general rule on naming applies. That means: the parties are named in the English translation and the original native name is placed on the first line of the article unless the native form is more commonly used in English than the English form. Rationale and specifics: See: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English).-->
