Ghumurishi Church (Georgian: ღუმურიშის ეკლესია, Abkhaz: Ӷумуришьтәи ауахәама) of St. John the Baptist is a 19th-century Eastern Orthodox church on left bank of Okumi river in the village of Zemo Ghumurishi,[2] north of the town of Gali, in Abkhazia, an entity in the South Caucasus with a disputed political status. The locale is part of the historical district of Samurzakano.[3] Not to be confused with Ghumurishi Sagergaio Church built in first half of the 11th century and rebuilt in the 19th century in the same village.

^The political status of Abkhazia is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it as as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
