Rostom Sharvashidze (Georgian: როსტომ შარვაშიძე) was a ruler of the Principality of Abkhazia of the 18th century, who ruled c. 1700-1730. A member of House Sharvashidze, he governed only a third of the principality, the rest of Abkhazia being divided amongst his two brothers. During his reign, he had to face an increasing Ottoman influence, while engaging in a losing struggle against Samegrelo and a war against Imereti.
