Gohlis is a locality in the borough north of the city of Leipzig, Germany. Once a village and knightly estate (Rittergut), it became in 1838 a rural community (Landgemeinde). It urbanised during the Gründerzeit period of the 19th century and was incorporated into the city of Leipzig in 1890. Gohlis is now divided into three administrative localities (Gohlis-Süd, Gohlis-Mitte and Gohlis-Nord), all of which belong to the Stadtbezirk Nord of Leipzig. Dominated by residential buildings from the late-19th and first half of the 20th century, Gohlis has a population of more than 45,000 inhabitants (2020).

It is well known as the place where Friedrich Schiller wrote the first version of his Ode to Joy in 1785.
