Kuji (Georgian: , romanized: ) ("fl." 4th century BC) was a ruler and eristavi of Colchis. During his reign his castle of Nokalakevi was built. Kuji aided Pharnavaz I of Iberia against the tyrannical ruler Azo. Pharnavaz subsequently deposed and killed Azo and Kuji recognized his authority giving him the Colchian throne.
According to "The Georgian Chronicles":

შენ ხარ შვილი თავთა მათ ქართლისათა, და შენ გმართებს უფლობა ჩემი აწ ნუ შურობ ხუასტაგსა შენსა, რათა განვამრავლნეთ სპანი; და უკეთუ მოგუეცეს ძლევა, შენ ხარ უფალი ჩუენი და მე ვარ მონა შენი.
Kuji eventually married Pharnavaz's sister. This marriage would produce the progeny of Kartam of Colchis.
