Sharad Gogate, born Sharadchandra Prabhakar Gogate on 27 June 1936, is a Marathi publisher and writer from Maharashtra, India.
Sharad Gogate is the son of Prabhakar Gopal Gogate and Sumati Prabhakar Gogate of Bhusawal. His father and both his grandfathers were practicing lawyers, and his initial goal was to follow them into a law career. He went to Pune for his education in 1953, attending Fergusson College and ILS Law College. After he earned his L.L.B., he considered practicing in the Mumbai High Court but after working at a large book shop called Deccan Book Stall in Deccan Gymkhana, Pune, his love of books led him to become a bookseller instead. In 1968 Gogate opened his own book shop called Saraswat (Marathi: सारस्वत). He started a publishing company in 1975 called Shubhada Saraswat (Marathi: शुभदा – सारस्वत).
In 1966, Gogate married Pushpa Ranade (Shubhada Gogate) of Nasik, who later became a well-known Marathi author.
