George II (Georgian: გიორგი II) (died 1585) was a Georgian monarch of the Bagrationi dynasty, who reigned as king (mepe) of Imereti, one of the principal realms of western Georgia, from 1565 to 1585. During his reign, George II had to face conflicts with neighboring principalities, as well as the ascendant Ottoman Empire.
At one point, King George was able to forge an alliance with his fellow Georgian monarchs George II of Guria and George III of Mingrelia. This so called "alliance of three Georges" provided a much needed period of peace for Western Georgia in the 1570s.
