Domentius IV (Georgian: დომენტი IV, Domenti IV, secular name Damian Bagrationi, Georgian: დამიანე ბაგრატიონი; 1677–1741) was the Catholicos Patriarch of Georgia from 1705 to 1724 and again from 1739 to 1741. He was a member of the royal Mukhrani branch of the Bagrationi dynasty, born as a younger son of Levan of Kartli (Shah-Quli Khan) and his first wife Tuta Gurieli.

A man of letters, Domentius compiled a collection of Georgian hagiography. He also sponsored reconstruction
