Tsotne Dadiani (Georgian: ცოტნე დადიანი) (died c. 1260) was a Georgian nobleman of whom the medieval Georgian Chronicles relate a story of how Tsotne’s self-sacrificing move saved his associates from the Mongol captivity and imminent death and which made him into one of the most popular historical figures in Georgia and a saint of the Georgian Orthodox Church. Tsotne was the son of Shergil the great noble of western Georgia and the duke of Mingrelia of the First House of Dadiani.
