The Gurjar are an ethnic group in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Alternative spellings include Gurjara, Gujar, Gurjjara and Gūrjara.

The spelling Gurjara or Gurjar is the preferred form.While the origin of the Gurjars is uncertain, the Gurjar clan appears in ancient North India about the time of the Huna invasions of the region.

In the sixth to twelfth century, they are primarily classed as Kshatriya and Brahmin, and many of them later convert to Islam during the Muslim rule in South Asia.

Today, the Gurjars are classified under the Other Backward Class (OBC) category in some states in India.

Hindu Gurjars today are assimilated into several varnas.
