Gawhar Khatun (Persian: گوهر خاتون, also spelled Gowhar, Govhar, Gevher, Cevher, Jauhar, and Jawhar), known in other sources as Mahd-i Iraq (“the bride from Iraq”), was a Seljuq princess who during an unknown date married the Ghaznavid Sultan Mas'ud III of Ghazni (r. 1099–1115), thus becoming his second wife.
