Sargis Tmogveli (Armenian: Սարգիս Թմոգվեցի, romanized: Sargis Tmogvec'i Georgian: სარგის თმოგველი), Sargis of Tmogvi or Sargis I Vahramian (Armenian: Սարգիս Ա Վահրամյան, romanized: Sargis A Vahramyan) was a 12th-13th century Armenian and Georgian statesman and writer active during the reign of Queen Tamar (c. 1184-1213). Sargis, son of Varam, belonged to the Tmogveli branch of the powerful Mkhargrdzeli family and owned estates in Tmogvi.
Tmogveli rendered the old Iranian love story Vīs and Rāmīn (written by Fakhruddin As'ad Gurgani) into Georgian prose; this Georgian version of the Persian original became known as Visramiani.
