Githa Hariharan (born 1954) is an Indian author and editor based in New Delhi. She was born in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu and grew up in Bombay. Her first novel, The Thousand Faces of Night, won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize in 1993.

In her personal life, she, along with her husband, won the right to have the children named after her (instead of carrying the father's name); in this famous case argued by Indira Jaising, the Supreme Court agreed that the mother was also a "natural guardian" of the child.
