Ali ibn Shuab al-Tiflis was a leader of the Emirate of Tiflis, an Arab state in Georgia that reigned from 829 to 833. A member of the Shuabid dynasty, he was a subject of the Abbasid province of Arminiya and was appointed to replace a rebellious emir. His short reign was marked by the continuation of Tiflis's conflict with Christian Georgia.
