Pasanauri ( _ka. ფასანაური, also spelled "Passanauri") is a townlet ("daba") in Georgia, situated in the Dusheti district, Mtskheta-Mtianeti region.

Pasanauri lies some 88.5 km north of the nation’s capital of Tbilisi, at elevation of 1,050 m. above sea level. Located on the Georgian Military Road, Pasanauri is flanked by the Aragvi River, 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, but suffered decay during the years of post-Soviet crisis.
