Sumbat I (Georgian: სუმბატ I) (died 958) was a Georgian prince of the Bagratid dynasty of Tao-Klarjeti and the titular king of Iberia-Kartli from 937 until his death.

Sumbat was the youngest son of Adarnase IV. He was a younger brother of David II upon whose death he succeeded as “king of the Iberians” in 937, and of Ashot II upon whose death he succeeded as the Byzantine dignitary curopalates in 954. Sumbat is commemorated in the church inscriptions from Ishkhani (Işhan) and Doliskana (Dolişhane/Hamamlıköy) in what is now Artvin Province, Turkey.

Sumbat had two sons:

  • Bagrat II
  • Adarnase V
