Davit Modzmanashvili (Georgian: დავით მოძმანაშვილი) (born 13 July 1986) is a heavyweight freestyle wrestler from Georgia who since 2017 competes for Uzbekistan. He won a silver medal for Georgia at the 2012 Olympics and placed third at the 2011 World Championships.[3][4][5]

After winning a European title in 2008, Modzmanashvili tested positive for a banned substance. He was stripped of his gold medal and received a two-year suspension.[2]

In January 2019, Modzmanashvili tested positive for a prohibited substance of dehydrochlormethyltestosterone after stored samples from the 2012 Olympics were re-analysed. He was subsequently stripped of his Olympic silver medal and banned for 6 years.[6][7]
