Gogamedi is a place of religious importance in Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan (India), 359 km from Jaipur.
A grand fair is held at Gogamedi in August in memory of Gogaji (a Chauhan Rajput from Dadrewa Village in Churu District). The fair is held from the ninth day of the dark half of Bhadrapada (Goga Navami) to the eleventh day of the dark half of the same month. It is believed that Gogaji went into samādhi at Gogamedi.

The inscription in Persian at the main entrance describes Mahmud of Ghazni's regard for Gogaji.
