Vakhtang III (Georgian: ვახტანგ III; 1276–1308), of the dynasty of Bagrationi, was the king of Georgia from 1302 to 1308. He ruled during the Mongol dominance of Georgia . A son of Demetrius II of Georgia by his Trapezuntine wife , Vakhtang was appointed, in 1302, by the Ilkhan Ghazan as a rival king to his brother David VIII , who had revolted against the Mongol rule.
However, Catholicos Anton II, who wrote in the 18th century, listed King Vakhtang IV's domains as mainly principalities of Western Georgia: Abkhazia, Jiketi, Samegrelo, Guria and Imereti. Prince David Bagrationi , who would write later in the 19th century, added Ossetia to his domains, even though Anton II listed the latter as part of Demetrius III's territories.

Demetrius, born in 1259, was the second son and third child of King David VII of Georgia. His mother was David's third wife Gvantsa née Kakhaberidze. He was 2 years old when Gvantsa was put to death by the Mongols as a reaction to David's abortive rebellion against the Ilkhan hegemony. David himself died in 1270.

Demetrius and Vakhtang IV shared Western Georgia and Kartli. The king ruled for a short time and died in 1446 without leaving any heirs. Under mysterious circumstances and perhaps in accordance with the king's will, George VIII took possession of the crown and disinherited his other elder brother, who was forced to return to Western Georgia.
