Prince Alexander Davidovich Nakashidze (Georgian: ალექსანდრე ნაკაშიძე (Alexandre Nakashidze), Russian: Александр Давидович Накашидзе) (1837 – 25 September 1905) was a Georgian nobleman from the Gurian princely family of Nakashidze and Russian imperial general, who was responsible for several decisive victories against rebellious factions during the Caucasian War. He also participated in the Crimean and Russo-Turkish War of 1877.[1] His son Mikhail Alexandrovich Nakashidze designed one of the world's first armoured cars that would enter military service, in Russia respectively and during the Russo-Japanese War.
