Michael (Georgian: მიქელი, romanized: mikeli; died in 1329) from the Bagrationi dynasty, was the king (mepe) of the Kingdom of Western Georgia from 1327 to 1329. He claimed the throne following the accession of his brother Constantine I in 1293, but only succeeded in obtaining it after nearly thirty-five years of civil war, in 1327.
