Giorgi Bagrationi (Georgian: გიორგი ბაგრატიონი), aka Giorgi Bagration Bagrationi (born 27 September 2011), is a Georgian prince of the Bagrationi dynasty which reigned until the early 19th century over various realms in and near the Caucasus Mountains, lands which now constitute the Republic of Georgia.
Born in Spain, Giorgi is the only child of Prince David Bagration of Mukhrani and Princess Anna Bagration-Gruzinsky, He potentially unites in his person the claims of the Mukhraneli and Gruzinsky branches of the House of Bagration to the former throne of the Kingdom of Georgia. If no other Bagrationi prince is born in either the Gruzinsky or Mukhraneli branch who is of senior descent in the male line, and he survives those now living, he will become the genealogical heir male of the Bagrationi dynasty as well as the heir general of Georgia's last monarch, King George XII.
Since the divorce of Giorgi's parents he has been pictured in attendance at several civic and religious events with his father. On 2 April 2016 Giorgi, accompanying Prince David, visited and was photographed in Tbilisi with the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II, who had christened him.
Prince Nugzar Bagration-Gruzinsky has, however, yet to officially recognize his grandson as the heir to the Georgian throne or to the Gruzinsky branch.
