Yasmeen Ghauri (born March 23, 1971 in Montreal, Canada) is a Canadian model of mixed descent born to a German mother and a Pakistani father. She is best known as a Victoria's Secret Angel and was admired as a great runway model.

Yasmeen was reportedly working at a McDonalds restaurant at the age of 17 when she got noticed by Edward Zacharia, artistic director of the Platine Coiffure, a hair-salon in Montreal. She was walking outside the salon when Edward caught sight of her and brought her in to Joseph Del Tortoon, the owner of the salon. He had been working with models for the past 12 years and knew instantly Yasmeen could be one of the very best.

She decided to move to New York, where she was lucky enough to model for Versace in 1990. Here she was noticed by the fashion police, critics and labels alike. She was soon praised for her poise and an exaggerated walk on the runway that earned her the title 'the panther'. New York Times quoted her walk as a 'ball-bearing swivel of her hips'. Moreover, Ghauri was named backstage as having the body of death, describing how curvaceous and womanly unachievable she was. Her popularity on runways for collections and couture shows grew even more. Her appearance on the catwalks prompted part of what is now termed in fashion as the 'Canadian invasion'. Added with the likes of Linda Evangelista, Tricia Helfer and Shalom Harlow, Ghauri is said to have brought Canada to the fashion scene in the 1990s.
