Gevherhan Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: کوھرخان سلطان, "Gem of the Khan"; c. 1605/1606 or 1608[1]–1660) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Ahmed I (reign 1603–1617) and Kösem Sultan,[2][3] half-sister of Sultan Osman II (reign 1618–1622), and sister of Sultans Murad IV (1623–1640) and Ibrahim (reign 1640–1648) of the Ottoman Empire.

Through her beauty and intelligence, Kösem Walide was especially attractive to Ahmed I, and drew ahead of more senior wives in the palace. She bore the sultan four sons – Murad, Süleyman, Ibrahim and Kasim – and three daughters – 'Ayşe, Fatma and Djawharkhan. These daughters she subsequently used to consolidate her political influence by strategic marriages to different viziers.
