Ekaterine "Eka" Zguladze (Ekaterina Zguladze-Glucksmann; Georgian: ეკატერინე ზღულაძე, Ukrainian: Екатеріна Згуладзе-Глуксманн; born 18 June 1978) is a Georgian and Ukrainian government official. She served as First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine since 17 December 2014 till 11 May 2016. She had served as Georgia's First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs from 2006 to 2012 and Acting Minister of Internal Affairs in 2012.
Ekaterine Zguladze was born in Tbilisi, the capital of then-Soviet Georgia. She studied law at the Oklahoma State University and eventually graduated from the Tbilisi State University with a degree in international journalism.
Zguladze worked for several international organizations based in Tbilisi and, from 2004 to 2005, the United States foreign aid agency Millennium Challenge Corporation – Georgia. At the invitation of the then-Minister of Internal Affairs of Georgia, Ivane Merabishvili, Zguladze, then 27-year-old, became First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs in the administration of President Mikheil Saakashvili in May 2006. After Merabishvili's successor, Bachana Akhalaia, resigned in response to an inmate abuse scandal in Tbilisi's Gldani prison on 19 September 2012, Zguladze was appointed Acting Minister of Internal Affairs and served on this position until the opposition Georgian Dream coalition, victorious in the October parliamentary election, formed a new government on 25 October 2012.
