David VI Narin (1225–1293), the Younger, was son of Queen Rusudan and her Seljuk husband. Crowned at Kutaisi in 1230, he was recognized in 1246 as junior king to his cousin David VII.

In 1259 he rebelled against the Mongols and fell back to Kutaisi, where he founded the independent Kingdom of Western Georgia, ruling it as David I. He sheltered his cousin in 1261 and repulsed Ilkhanate attacks. He died at Kutaisi in 1293, succeeded by his son Constantine I.
