Guaram III (Georgian: Script error: No such module "Lang".), of the Guaramid dynasty, was a presiding prince of Iberia (Kartli, eastern Georgia) from before 693 to c. 748.

Guaram III was bestowed with the Byzantine title of Script error: No such module "Lang"., and thus, must have succeeded his father or grandfather Guaram II shortly before 693, i.e., before the resurgent Umayyad Caliphate ousted the Byzantines from the Caucasus region.[1]

The chronicle of Pseudo-Juansher, written around 800, also refers to the princes Mihr, Archil, and the sons of the latter – Iovane and Juansher – in this period. However, neither of these individuals were presiding princes of Iberia, but the provincial rulers of Kakheti in the east.[2]

Guaram III had a son also called Guaram (or Gurgen), and two anonymous daughters, one of whom married the Chosroid prince Archil, and the other married the Bagratid prince Vasak. His son, Guaram/Gurgen was married to a Nersianid princess, daughter of Adarnase III, and fathered Stephen III.[3]
