Avlabari (Georgian: ავლაბარი) is a station of the Tbilisi Metro on the Akhmeteli–Varketili Line.

The station was opened in November 1967 as a part of the second stretch of the Tbilisi Metro which connected Lenin Square (currently Freedom Square) and 300 Aragveli stations. The station was formerly named 26 Komisari (Georgian: 26 კომისარი) after the 26 Baku Commissars. It was renamed in 1992 after the neighbourhood in Tbilisi, where the station is located.

Architects are S. Revishvili, Sh. Chachanidze, artist Z. Lezhava. Construction works were carried out by "Tbilmetromshen".

The vestibule is connected to the lower station by an escalator. The underground hall is covered with a vault supported by piers covered with black marble.

In 2006, the station was renovated, which was completed on September 4. During the works, its upper vestibule, inclined tunnel and waiting hall were renovated. Technical works were also carried out, during which advertising billboards and monitors were installed.
