Georgi Konstantinovich Martirosian (c. 1895 –  10 March 1938) was a Soviet local historian of Armenian origin. His monograph History of Ingushiya published in 1933 is one of the most referenced works in modern studies of history of Ingushetia.

Biography
Georgi was born in 1895 in Tiflis, the administrative center of the Tiflis Governorate of the Russian Empire, to an Armenian family.

In 1924, a member of the scientific society of the Mountaineer Pedagogical Institute, Georgi, in a brief bibliographical note, made an attempt to summarize knowledge about local newspapers and magazines: "Many events took place in the life of Vladikavkaz, and one cannot help but want to summarize the general, preliminary results of the city periodical press, in which, for better or worse, traces of local economic life and the political storms that swept over the region were preserved. The establishment of the first periodical press organ in Vladikavkaz dates back to the time after the end of the Caucasian War."

He worked as an assistant, then an associate professor at the Mountain Agricultural Institute in Vladikavkaz, deputy director of the Ingush Research Institute of Local History.

Arrested in 1935, he served his time in Kolyma. On 8 March 1938, the NKVD for Dalstroy sentenced him to death by shooting on charges of participating in the activities of a counter-revolutionary rebel organization. The sentence was carried out on 10 March in the territory of the modern Magadan region. On 7 September 1956 he was posthumously rehabilitated.
