Gohar Kayoum Mamajiwala (1910 – 28 September 1985), also known as Miss Gohar, was an Indian singer, actress, producer and studio owner.

Gohar's father's business almost collapsed and the family funds were seriously depleting when a family friend, Mr. Homi Master working at the time as a director for Kohinoor Films, suggested that Gohar take up acting as a career. Her parents agreed.

Gohar started her career at the age of sixteen with the film Fortune and the Fools (1926) directed by Kanjibhai Rathor and the role of the hero was portrayed by Khalil and the film was produced by "Kohinoor Films". The film was a Hit. Gohar along with Jagdish Pasta, Chandulal Shah, Raja Sandow and cameraman Pandurang Naik started the "Shree Sound Studios". In 1929 along with Chandulal Shah she founded the Ranjit Studios which was later known as Ranjit Movietone.

She retired in the 1970s and died in Bombay, Maharashtra on 28 September 1985.

[Note:- Due to several Gohars working in the Hindi film industry, the possibility of errors in filmography can’t be ruled out.]
