Pasanauri (Georgian: ფასანაური, also spelled Passanauri) is a small town (daba) in Georgia, situated in the Dusheti district, Mtskheta-Mtianeti region.

Pasanauri lies about 90 kilometres (56 mi) north of the nation’s capital of Tbilisi,[1] at elevation of 1,050 m. above sea level.[2] Located on the Georgian Military Road, Pasanauri is flanked by the Aragvi River,[3] and surrounded by the Caucasus Mountains. Average winter temperature is 0 degrees Celsius, but often falls below 10 degrees Celsius. As of the 2002 census, the townlet had a population of 1.600.

Due to its picturesque location and the proximity to nearby historical sites as well as for its mineral water, hiking routes, handcrafted items and food, Pasanauri became a popular tourist destination in the Soviet period,[4] but suffered decay during the years of post-Soviet crisis.
