'''Govind''' may refer to:
*An alternate spelling of [[Govinda]], which is a name in Hinduism given to the god [[Krishna]]. It means "cowherd."
*The name '''Govind''' is commonly used in [[Sikhism]] to refer to God. It is derived from "Gobinda" which means '''Preserver of the World''' in [[Panjabi language|Panjābi]]. The name is used many times in the [[Guru Granth Sahib]]; for example: "Every day, hour and moment, I continually sing and speak of Govind, Govind, the Lord of the Universe."<ref>[http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&Param=404&english=t&id=18587#l18587 Guru Granth Sahib Page 404]</ref>
*'''Govind''', more often written '''Gobind''', is a name sometimes used for the Tenth [[Sikh]] Guru, [[Guru Gobind Singh]]. The [[Dasam Granth]], which is the second [[Sikh Scripture]] written by the Tenth Guru, mentions the name twice:
**On page 643, line 3: "O [[God in Sikhism|Lord]]! I have forsaken all other doors and have caught hold of only Thy door. O Lord! Thou has caught hold of my arm; I, Govind, am Thy [[dasa|slave]], kindly take (care of me and) protect my honour. 864."
**On page 728, line 4: "All the gods, taking permission of Krishna, bowed their heads and went back to their abodes; in their delight, they have named Krishna as 'Govind'."
