Alexander II (Georgian: ალექსანდრე II, romanized: aleksandre II) (1527 – March 12, 1605) of the Bagrationi dynasty, was a king (mepe) of Kakheti in eastern Georgia from 1574 to 1605. In spite of a precarious international situation, he managed to retain relative economic stability in his kingdom and tried to establish contacts with the Tsardom of Russia. Alexander fell victim to the Iran-sponsored coup led by his own son, Constantine I.
