Karsan Devjibhai Ghavri audio|Karsan_Ghavri.ogg|pronunciation (born February 28, 1951, Rajkot, Gujarat) is a former Indian cricketer who played in 39 Tests and 19 ODIs from 1974 to 1981. He played in the 1975 and 1979 World Cups.

He was a left-arm medium pace bowler, taking 109 Test wickets. With the bat he was usually found in the lower order but managed a couple of Test half centuries including a career best 86 against Australia in Bombay. By the time he was dismissed he had made a record eighth-wicket partnership of 127 with Syed Kirmani.

Despite making his debut in 1975, it wasn't until the season of 1976-77 that he cemented his spot in the side after series against New Zealand and England. He remained a regular member of the side until 1981. His most successful series came against the West Indies in 1978-79 with 27 wickets.
