Spaspet () was a feudal office in Georgia that originated in ancient Iberia. It is usually translated in English as High Constable.
The institution of spaspet, like its rough equivalent sparapet in neighboring Armenia, was designed under the influence of the Sassanian Persian spahbed, but differed in that it was a non-hereditary rank and included not only military, but also civil functions.
