The National Forum (Georgian: ეროვნული ფორუმი, romanized: erovnuli porumi) was a political party in Georgia established on December 15, 2006 by the former diplomat Kakha Shartava.
According to the party's charter, it was governed by a political council consisting of seven members: Kakhaber Shartava, Gocha Jabidze, Revaz Shavishvili, Malkhaz (Soso) Vakhtangashvili, Ani Mirotadze, Avtandil Davitadze, and Zurab Chikvaidze.

On March 5 of that year, the National Forum created its own parliamentary faction (comprising Gubaz Sanikidze, Malkhaz (Soso) Vakhtangashvili, Temur Maisuradze, Ani Mirotadze, and Giorgi (Gia) Khechinashvili) and continued to participate in the majority coalition until April 2016.
At the extraordinary 5th Congress of the National Forum on April 3, 2016, delegates voted by a large majority to withdraw from the Georgian Dream coalition and independently participate in the 2016 parliamentary elections.
Following the departure of the key figures of party, the National Forum slowly ceased to be active and eventually disappeared from Georgia's political landscape.
