Alexander Abkhazava (born 28 October 2006) is a racing driver of Russo-Georgian-Kazakh descent who competed in the 2025 Eurocup-3 season representing MP Motorsport. Previously, he took part in the 2024 Eurocup-3 season with Saintéloc Racing and also raced in the 2023 F4 Spanish Championship for Drivex.
Karting
Abkhazava focused mainly on Rotax karting competitions, securing the 2019 Rotax Junior European championship at the Rotax Max Challenge International Trophy. He progressed to the Rotax Senior division, delivering steady results across 2021 and 2022.
Formula 4
At the start of 2023, Abkhazava transitioned to single-seaters by joining R-ace GP for the 2023 Formula 4 UAE Championship. He ended the season in 28th place overall, with his highest finish being ninth at Kuwait Motor Town. Subsequently, he participated in the 2023 F4 Spanish Championship with Drivex, concluding the series 24th with a best race result of tenth.

In January 2024, Abkhazava signed with Pinnacle Motorsport to contest the entire 2024 Formula Regional Middle East Championship. He experienced a breakthrough year, finishing 15th overall and achieving a top finish of fourth at Yas Marina Circuit, accumulating 20 points over the campaign.
His main effort in 2024 saw him compete for Saintéloc Racing in the full 2024 Eurocup-3 season. He made an impressive debut by securing second place at Spa-Francorchamps, followed by his maiden victory in race three at Algarve. Despite a promising start, he slipped to ninth position in the final championship standings after encountering challenges during the latter half of the season. Later that year, Abkhazava also took part in the 2024 Formula Regional World Cup held at the Guia Circuit in Macau, finishing ninth.

For the 2025 Eurocup-3 season, Abkhazava switched allegiance to MP Motorsport, aiming to contend for the title.
