Gaur Brahmins (also spelledGor,Gour,Gaud orGauda) are a community ofBrahmins in India. They are one of the fivePancha Gauda Brahmin communities that live north of theVindhyas.^[1][2]

Gaur Brahmins are most numerous in the western half ofNorthern India, particularly in the states ofHaryana,Rajasthan, and western parts ofUttar Pradesh andMadhya Pradesh, but a significant number are present in other northern states of India also.^[3]

Brahmins, mostly Gaurs, have a significant population inDelhi, around 12% - 14%, larger than the combined population of Jats and Gujjars. They play a dominant role in the region's politics.^{[4][clarification needed][5]}

During World War I, Gaur Brahmins were recruited to regiments and companies of theBritish Indian Army, notably the1st Brahmans and3rd Brahmans.^[6]

In places where Gaur Brahmins reside, Brahmins who are not of the Gaur community are often considered to have an inferior status.^[7]
