Gokomere is a culture in Zimbabwe, known for its rock art and pottery traditions dating from 200 to 650 AD.[1]

The ancient Bantu people who inhabited the area of Great Zimbabwe around the 4th century AD probably built the complex between 1000 and 1200 AD.[2] The Gokomere traded via ancient trading routes over the Chimanimani Mountains on the current Zimbabwe-Mozambique border with the Swahili civilization on the Kenyan and Tanzanian coast. This group is believed to have given rise to the Shona peoples..[1]

Gokomere also refers to a school located close to the town of Masvingo.
