Gohar Sultan Begum (also Gauhar Sultan Begum, Gawhar-Sultan Khanim, Gawhar Sultan Khanum)[1][2] (died 1577) was the daughter of shah Tahmasp I of Persia (r. 1524–1576).[3]
She was sister to shah Ismail II.
She was married to her father's nephew, Ibrahim Mirza, whom she supported against her brother.[1] The marriage most likely occurred in 1556.[2] Gauhar Sultan Khanum gained admiration for her learning.[4] Tradition holds that she died of grief after her husband was killed.[5]
