This article lists the diplomatic missions of Abkhazia. The Republic of Abkhazia is a state with limited recognition, which declared independence from Georgia in 1994, but did not receive recognition from any UN member states after the 2008 South Ossetia war. Abkhazia is recognized by Russia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Nauru and Syria. In addition, it is recognized also by South Ossetia and Transnistria, which are both not members of the United Nations. Until early 2022, Abkhazia has four embassies abroad and small network of representative offices in near countries. Abkhazia also has four honorary consulates. The Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic had diplomatic relations with Abkhazia prior to being annexed by Russia in 2022.
