Bakur III (Georgian: ბაკურ III, Latinized as Bacurius) (died 580) was the last Chosroid king (mepe) of Iberia (natively known as Kartli; ancient Georgia) upon whose death the Iberian monarchy was abolished by Sassanid Iran.
[1][2] The name "Bakur" is the Georgian (ბაკურ) and Armenian (Բակուր) attestation of Middle Iranian Pakur.
The date of his accession to the throne is unknown but he ruled as contemporary of Hormizd IV of Iran.
[3] Bakur's authority was rather limited and hardly extended beyond his fortress at Ujarma while the capital Tbilisi, and Inner Iberia was governed more directly by the Sassanids.
When he died in 580, Hormizd IV took opportunity to abolish the kingship in Iberia.
