Mikadze (Georgian: მიქაძე, მიქაძეები) is a family name belonging to the group of Georgian noble (princely) families from the former Principality of Mingrelia.
According to the information provided by the historian Abesalom Tugushi, the Mikadze family is one of the oldest noble families in Mingrelia, with the first mention dating back to the 13th-14th centuries. An inscription on the bell tower of the Church of St. John the Baptist in the village of Eki mentions Georgy Mikadze, whose "efforts" led to the construction of the bell tower. Academician Ekvtime Takaishvili, in his work "Archaeological Journeys and Notes," describes a small church dedicated to Archangel Michael in the village of Mukheli, located in the Lengeri district of Svaneti, and provides an inscription below a fresco depicting "Michael's child Eristavi Zviad and his wife Natela" ("მიქას ძე ერისთავი ზვიადი... ნათელ მეუღლე") dressed in Georgian attire and holding a church plan. Takaisvili did not provide a specific date for the inscription, but judging by the attire and headdress of Eristavi Zviad Mikadze, it can be assumed that the fresco and inscription date back to the 14th century.
