Alexander II (Georgian: ალექსანდრე II; died April 1, 1510) was a king (mepe) of Georgia in 1478 and of Imereti from 1483 to 1510.
Son of Bagrat VI of Georgia, he briefly succeeded his father in 1478 during the Georgian civil war of 1463–1491 which divided the kingdom into several independent states. Expelled by the pretender, his uncle Constantine II, he quickly took refuge in the northern mountains of western Georgia, where he continued the civil war for several years. He returned to power in 1484 following the national chaos which prevented Constantine from defending his domains and was crowned king of Imereti. His reign remained unstable and suffered two more invasions from Constantine in 1485 and 1487, before finally gaining his throne in 1489.
The formal division of Georgia in 1490 made Alexander II one of the four independent Georgian rulers, as well as the founder of the Kingdom of Imereti. He devoted his reign to reforming the internal situation of the country, while facing the autonomous ambitions of Mingrelia and Guria. After a failed attempt to reconquer central Georgia in 1509, Imereti faced the Ottomans in a first invasion which inaugurated the geopolitical conflicts of the region for the next centuries. On his death in 1510, he was succeeded by Bagrat III.
