Arsukidze or Arsukidze (Georgian: არსაკისძე, romanized: arsak'isdze) was a Georgian architect who built Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Mtskheta, the then capital of the Kingdom of Georgia.
His name is inscribed on the external northern wall of the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral. A relief sculpture shows a right arm and hand holding an L-square - symbol of the stonemason – with an inscription reads:
The Hand of Arsukidze,
slave of God,
may forgiveness be his.
An inscription on the east façade further attests to the fact that Arsukidze did not live to see his masterpiece finished (in 1029):
This holy church was built by the hand of Thy wretched servant, Arsukidze. May your soul rest in peace, O Master.
His given name or other details are unknown.
