Natalia Nasaridze (born 2 October 1972) is a three-time European champion archer, who competes internationally for Turkey.[1]

She is from the Republic of Georgia. She is coached by Vladimir Lekveshivili and is a member of Antalya Specialization Club. During a competition in Turkey, Uğur Erdener offered her membership in the Turkey national archery team for the next Olympics. She accepted to move to Turkey because she had no chance in her country to compete at the Olympics. After naturalization, she won several medals for Turkey at international competitions, and took part four times at the Olympics.[1]
