Alexander I (Georgian: ალექსანდრე I Alek’sandre I) (1445/1457 – April 27, 1511), of the Bagrationi dynasty, was a king (mepe) of Kakheti in eastern Georgia from 1476 to 1511. Alexander's pliancy and flexible diplomacy earned him security from the neighboring powers, only to be murdered by his own son George II "the Bad". He recognized the suzerainty of Shah ("King") Ismail I of Safavid Iran at the beginning of the 16th century.
