The Treaty of 1031 was concluded between Kingdom of Georgia and the Byzantine Empire. It was signed by the Queen regent of Georgia, Mariam of Vaspurakan, and the Byzantine Emperor Romanos III Argyros.

In 1031, the Georgian queen Mariam visited Constantinople and negotiated a peace treaty with Emperor Romanos on behalf of her underage son Bagrat IV, on the following terms:

Helena was a daughter of the magistros Basil Argyros and, thus a niece of the Emperor The marriage of Helena to King Bagrat, then aged around 14, was arranged as part of the peace deal negotiated, which brought an outbreak of Byzantine–Georgian hostilities to an end.
