Nodari Otarievich Maisuradze (Russian: Нодари Отариевич Маисурадзе, born 18 February 1988) is a Russian pair skater. With Julia Antipova, he is the 2014 Bavarian Open champion and placed eighth at the 2014 World Championships.

With former partner Lubov Iliushechkina, Maisuradze is the 2010 Skate Canada champion, 2011 Winter Universiade champion, 2009 World Junior champion, 2008 World Junior silver medalist, and 2009 Russian national bronze medalist.

Nodari Otarievich Maisuradze was born 18 February 1988 in Lipetsk, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union. He moved to Saint Petersburg when he was 12.

Maisuradze began skating at the age of three-and-a-half in Lipetsk. His first coach was Galina Sukhareva. He began training in Saint Petersburg at age 12 and was taught by Alexei Urmanov for a year.

In April 2006, Maisuradze switched from singles to pairs, teaming up with Lubov Iliushechkina. Though initially skeptical, coach Natalia Pavlova decided to work with them because she had no pairs at the time and grew impressed by their commitment. In September of that year, Pavlova moved to Moscow and the pair followed her.

During the 2007–08 season, Iliushechkina/Maisuradze took silver at the 2008 Junior Worlds and placed 4th at the senior Russian Nationals.
