Michel Tamarati (born Mikhail Tamarashvili; Georgian: მიხეილ თამარაშვილი; September 1858 – September 16, 1911) was a Georgian Catholic priest and historian. He is known for his oft-cited French-language history of the Georgian Christianity, L'Eglise géorgienne des origines jusqu' à nos jours, published in Rome in 1910. He died in 1911 while trying to rescue a drowning man in stormy sea near Santa Marinella, Italy.
