Cicindela caucasica is a species of tiger beetle. This species is found in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia.[1] Its habitat consists of sandy river beaches.

This species is similar to Cicindela sturmii, but is smaller and is easily distinguished by the shape of its aedeagus.[2]
