Akaki Gogia (Georgian: აკაკი გოგია; born 18 January 1992) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger or attacking midfielder for SC Freital.

Gogia began his career in Germany with VfL Wolfsburg, before transferring to Hallescher FC in 2013. Following an abortive 2015–16 season in England with Brentford, he returned to Germany and played for Dynamo Dresden and Union Berlin. Following a spell as a fringe player with Swiss club FC Zürich, Gogia returned to Germany to rejoin Dynamo Dresden in 2022, for whom he had earlier played on loan. Following another spell as a fringe player, he dropped into lower-league football in 2023. Born in Georgia, Gogia won international youth caps for Germany at U18 and U19 level. His nickname is "Andy".[4]
