Googoosh (alternately spelled Gogosh, Googosh or Gougoush; Persian: گوگوش, born Faegheh Atashin, Persian: فائقه آتشین , born May 5, 1950 in Tehran) is an Iranian pop singer and actress.

Googoosh's first husband was Mahmoud Ghorbani. He was a music promoter who had helped Googoosh make a name for herself throughout the 60s. They married in 1968. They had a son, Kambiz, who currently lives in Los Angeles and who is also in the music industry. In 1973, Ghorbani and Googoosh divorced.

In 1974, Googoosh married the famous Iranian actor, Behrouz Vossoughi. However, this was a very unsuccessful marriage. They divorced 14 months later.

During the late 70s, Googoosh became involved with Homayoun Mestaghi, but after the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Googoosh served a 3 month jail sentence because she was living with him outside of marriage, which was illegal under the Islamic Regime. Several years later, Googoosh divorced Mestaghi.

In the 1970s, Googoosh was considered the most celebrated recording artist in Iran. In addition to music, Googoosh was also an actress in many Persian films of the 1960s and 1970s. She is more widely known as a singer than as an actress. After the Iranian Revolution in 1979 she remained in Iran until 2000 but did not record or perform again due to the ban on solo female singers. Still, her following grew. Younger people have rediscovered her music via bootleg recordings of her music. Outside of Iran, she has a significant following in many Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries, and currently resides in Los Angeles, California and continues her career, albeit in a limited manner.
She married director Masoud Kimiai in 1991.
