Oljath (Öljätäi; ) () was a Queen consort of Georgia as the wife of two successive kings, Vakhtang II () and David VIII (). She was the daughter of Abaqa Khan, the Mongol Ilkhan of Iran.
==Origin== Oljath was a younger daughter of Abaqa. Her mother was either Abaqa's wife Maria Palaiologina, an illegitimate daughter of the Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos, or Bulujin egechi, a concubine. She was, thus, a great-great-granddaughter of Genghis Khan.
