The Bishopric of Ancha (Georgian: ანჩის საეპისკოპოსო, anchis saepiskoposo) was one of the principal territorial jurisdictions of the medieval Georgian Orthodox Church in the province of Klarjeti (now part of Turkey), with its cathedral church at Ancha (modern Anaçlı, Ardanuç). It came in existence between the 7th and 9th centuries and had disappeared by the middle of the 17th century after the Ottoman conquest of the area. The bishopric was a vibrant center of Georgian Christian culture and played a role in the regional politics. The cathedral of Ancha housed a celebrated gilded icon of the Savior, which was transferred, in 1664, to the Georgian capital of Tbilisi, in a church henceforth known as Anchiskhati, "the icon of Ancha".
