Vakhtang IV (Georgian: ვახტანგ IV) (c. 1413 – December 1446), of the Bagrationi dynasty, was a king (mepe) of the Kingdom of Georgia who reigned from 1433 to his death, associated to the throne of his father Alexander I from 1433 to the latter's abdication in 1442 and sharing the throne with his three brothers until his death in 1446.
As king, he only controlled parts of the kingdom and had to face a Turkoman invasion. His reign witnessed the beginning of the disintegration of Georgia into smaller states and the collapse of the Georgian realm.
