Aquilegia gegica is a species of flowering plant in the genus Aquilegia (columbine) in the family Ranunculaceae endemic to the western South Caucasus region in Abkhazia and Georgia. The plant's flower petals are light blue.
Botanist Robert Nold, in his 2003 book Columbines, said that he was unaware of any information regarding A. gegica besides its appearance on a website dedicated to endangered plants from Georgia. The National Botanical Garden of Georgia has cultivated A. gegica derived from plants present on the Egrisi Ridge in the Chkhorotsqu Municipality in 2016.
It is native to the western Transaucasus region of the western Caucasus. The plant can be found in Abkhazia and Georgia. Like A. colchina and Aquilegia kubanica, A. gegica is endemic in the Caucasus; the only other Caucasian Aquilegia, Aquilegia olympica, has a substantially more expansive range.
