Gheranda Samhita (धेरंड संहिता) (Sanskrit for "Gheranda's Collection") is one of the three classic texts of Hatha Yoga (the other two being the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Shiva Samhita). It is a late 17th Century text and is considered to be the most encyclopedic of the three classic texts on Hatha Yoga.

Gheranda Samhita is a manual of Yoga taught by Gheranda to Chanda. Unlike other Hatha Yoga texts, the Gheranda Samhita focuses upon the Shat Kriyas or internal body cleansing, i.e., Ghatastha Yoga. The closing stanzas of the Gheranda Samhita deal with Samadhi, but the methods taught are different from Patanjali's methods.
