Alexander Konstantinovich Bagration-Imeretinsky (Georgian: ალექსანდრე კონსტანტინეს ძე ბაგრატიონ-იმერეტინსკი (Aleksandre Konstantines dze Bagration-Imeretinski), Russian: Алекса́ндр Константи́нович Имере́тинский, Polish: Aleksandr Imeretyński) (24 September 1837 - 17 November 1900) was a Georgian royal prince (batonishvili) and a General of the Russian Imperial Army. A hero of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877, he served as Governor-General of Warsaw in Poland, where he was known for his liberal policies that ultimately led to his replacement by the Russian authorities. As a general he has also been described as calm, morally balanced, and relatively humble in the success of his duties.

In 1855 Imeretinsky served in a mounted Imperial Guardpioneer squadron. From 1856 to 1859 he took part in the Caucasian War against Chechens and Dagestanis with a Georgian Grenadier Regiment, during which he was promoted to lieutenant colonel upon request on January 31, 1857.[1] He then studied at the Nicholas General Staff Academy (1859–1863). He took part in suppressing the Polish January Uprising in 1863, earning the Captaincy for Distinguished Service on July 4 of that year,[1] and in 1876 became chief of staff of the Russian Army in Warsaw. Consequently, Imteretinsky was appointed commander of the Warsaw Military District in 1869.
In 1897 he replaced Pavel Andreyevich Shuvalov as the Governor-general of Warsaw. He was a supporter of Polish-Russian cooperation, and thought that Poles would voluntarily integrate themselves into the Russian Empire if given the choice and fair treatment. For that reason he removed some restrictive laws, such as one that forbade use of the Polish language in schools, and dismissed the unpopular overseer of education system, Alexander Apuchtin. With the influence of Emperor Nicholas II, other restrictive laws on Catholicism and the Polish press were also softened.[2] Imeretinsky also gave permission to erect a monument to Adam Mickiewicz, the great Polish poet.
He was criticized for his liberal stance by certain Russian and Polish factions. After the Polish Socialist Party published an article critical of Imeretinsky's liberal policy in 1898, it gained much notoriety, and Imeretinsky was dismissed in 1900, dying on 17 November that year.
