Nouran Ahmed Gohar, (Arabic: نوران أحمد جوهر; born September 30, 1997 in Egypt) is a world-class squash player who represents Egypt. She reached a career-high world ranking of No. 3 in November 2016.

Nouran Gohar is another immensely talented youngster fresh off the Egyptian production line of premier squash players.

She lifted her first Tour title at the Prague Open in December 2013 where she played to her seeding to see off Lucie Fialová to triumph at just 16-years-of-age.

Gohar earned another title the following year at the Irish Open before her superb victory over Omneya Abdel Kawy in the final of the Monte Carlo Classic elevated her into the world's top 20 for the first time.

A superb quarter-final finish at the Texas Open in April 2015 ensured that Gohar would breach the top 15 in the world.[1]
