Golsa "Goldie" Ghamari (Persian: گلسا قمری) is a Canadian politician who represented the riding of Carleton in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 2018 until 2025. Before entering politics, Ghamari was a lawyer who specialized in international trade law.
On June 28, 2024, Ghamari was removed from the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario caucus by Doug Ford, party leader and premier, after she met with the British far-right figure Tommy Robinson. In a statement, Ford's office said the premier was "extremely disappointed" that Ghamari had given Robinson a platform and that her denials surrounding the incident "speaks volumes about her judgment and honesty."
