Gauharshad (before 1479 – after 1546), was a Kazan princess. She was the regent of the Kazan Khanate between 1531 and 1533 during the minority of Canghali of Kazan.[1]
She was the daughter of Ibrahim of Kazan and Nur Sultan. She married Qasim khan (Şäyex Allahiär) (r. 1512-1515). In 1531, she managed to put her son on the Kazan throne with the support of Moscow and the local elite. Since her son was a minor, he was placed under a regency under her presidency.
