Template:Short description Template:Infobox royalty Bakur I (Georgian: Script error: No such module "Lang"., Latinized as Bacurius), of the Arsacid dynasty, was a king (mepe) of Iberia (natively known as Kartli; ancient Georgia) from 234 to 249.

The name Script error: No such module "Lang". is the Latin form of the Greek Bakour (Script error: No such module "Lang".), itself a variant of the Middle Iranian Pakur, derived from Old Iranian bag-puhr ('son of a god').[1][2] The name "Bakur" is the Georgian (ბაკურ) and Armenian (Բակուր) attestation of Middle Iranian Pakur.[1]

He is known exclusively from the medieval Georgian chronicles which make him either 21st or 23rd in the royal list of Iberia and merely relates that Bakur was the son of Vach'e.[3]
