Jigda-Khatun () (died 1252) was a Queen consort of Georgia as the first wife of King David VII. She served as regent during her husband's absence.
==Origin and marriage== According to the modern historian Ivane Javakhishvili, David might have married her, around 1247, for political reasons while he stayed at the court of the Mongol Khagan Güyük, pending his recognition as the king of Georgia and settlement of a succession dispute with his namesake cousin, David VI Narin. Another modern scholar Cyril Toumanoff considers Jigda a Seljuk princess, daughter of the sultan of Rum. An inscription from the Abelia church in the south of Georgia mentions her as Tamar-Khatun, indicating that she received a new, Christian name in Georgia.
